Side dishes make the meal at Thanksgiving, which makes them the perfect choice for this week's SWAT (Sharing with a Theme).

We put the Culinary Content Network to the test to come up with a few of their favorite Thanksgiving side dish recipes, and here are some of the highlights:

Tina Muir of Feed Your Future with Tina Muir brings us kale salad, a lighter option to balance out all of the rich food that pops up on the Thanksgiving table.

Christine Carlisle of Chew Nibble Nosh brings us the stuffing recipe you've always wanted.

This week's winner comes from Beth Lee at OMG! Yummy. Dress mild delicata squash with date syrup and pomegranate molasses for an unusual but crowd-pleasing side.

All of the recipes featured can be made at home for about $20 or less, excluding the cost of small amounts of basic ingredients such as butter, oil, flour, sugar, salt, pepper, and other dried herbs and spices.
