Side Dishes for Sandwiches

[porque]

On Christmas we always serve make your own sandwiches (satisfies omnis and veggies in our house) but for some reason I am at a loss for side dishes this year. We will have pickles and olives and probably some chips. I was thinking of potato or macaroni salad, but they seem so summery.
Any ideas?
I have lots of cookbooks and time to shop!

Soup? Chilli?

Fresh fruits.
Fruit smoothies.

I would do olives, pickles, veggies/hummus, chips and salsa, grapes, orange segments, deviled eggs, potato salad with a dijon/dill sauce instead of the typical mayo

[Gentle~Mommy :)]

I would say cold rice salads, cold pasta salad, potato salad.. yum

soup

I like the soup idea!

Or how about a warm german potato salad? I love it in the winter!

I made Bobby Flays w/o the bacon and it was wonderful. I did a search for it and this one came up- its vegan:

I like fruit salads, and a veggie tray with a couple dips. Onion dip, and a couple bean dips. And make sure to make yummy cinnamony cashew cream dip for the fruit !

You could do pickled red onions and marinated white beans which are fabulous with/on sandwiches

We're doing a deli platter for sandwiches as well. Our sides are a red wine and rice vinegar slaw salad (much lighter than traditional slaw), a chicken lentil soup, a curried cauliflower soup, and a baby spinach salad with walnuts and blue cheese crumbles.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! I think I am going to go with soup, fresh fruit, a spinach salad, macaroni salad and the hot german potato salad which looks delicious. Thanks again!
