We would suggest a parsley salad. Simply mix lettuce leaves with plenty of fresh flat leaf parsley and a simple lemon and olive oil dressing. A quick and easy sauce for pasta, I usually combine this with fettucine, linguine or penne. This is a great side with poached salmon and steamed green beans. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat butter over medium heat.
