If you’re wondering what to serve with your tomato pie, you’ve come to the right place.

In this article, I list 39 of the most popular side dishes for tomato pie.

In a rush? Here’s the short answer.

The best dishes to serve with tomato pie are spring vegetable salad, coleslaw, spicy collard greens, vegetarian succotash, and garlic herb potato salad. For something meaty, try bacon-wrapped asparagus, arugula shrimp salad, or BBQ baby back ribs. For a saucy side, try smoked baked beans.

Ready? Let’s jump right in.

Spring vegetable salad

In the summer months, it’s a no-brainer to serve your tomato pie with a fresh green salad.

This recipe is packed with springtime veggies including raw asparagus, snap peas, radishes, and baby spinach leaves.

Then everything is tossed with a tangy lemon vinaigrette that helps cut through your tomato pie’s richness.

Why we love this recipe: it adds a pop of refreshing green to your plate.

Spicy collard greens

Collard greens are one of my favorite Southern foods – the soft greens and finger-lickingly good pot likker (the concentrated broth) at the bottom are simply delicious.

I especially like this version. The simple addition of cider vinegar and hot sauce brings a fiery heat to balance your tomato pie’s cheesiness.

Psst… not a fan of collard greens? Swap them for mustard or turnip greens.

Why we love this recipe: it’s healthy comfort food.

Bacon-wrapped asparagus

Tired of your usual roasted asparagus?

It’s an easy fix – wrap the spears in bacon before roasting them!

You can jazz them up even further with cheese or honey, but I like keeping them simple when pairing them with a decadent dish like tomato pie.

Psst… asparagus not in season? Use green beans instead.

Why we love this recipe: it’s simple but super elegant.

Smoked baked beans

Serving tomato pie at your cookout? You can’t go wrong by pairing a slice with some smoked baked beans.

This recipe is made with canned baked beans, but you wouldn’t know it with how flavorful they turn out.

And the extra step of smoking the beans turns them into something truly irresistible.

Why we love this recipe: it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

Oven-roasted mushrooms

Want to give your tomato pie an umami boost? These oven-roasted mushrooms have your back.

The mushrooms are first soaked in a balsamic marinade, infusing them with lots of umami goodness before they’re cooked.

25 minutes in the oven, and you’ll have tender, flavorful mushrooms ready to be enjoyed.

Psst… save some of the balsamic reduction to drizzle on your tomato pie.

Why we love this recipe: it transforms a simple ingredient into something delicious.

BBQ Baby back ribs

If you’ve never tried a tender baby back ribs and tomato pie meal, you’re missing out big time.

The cheesy, tomatoey flavors of your pie pair perfectly with your sweet, but slightly spicy ribs.

Imagine slathering your pie with the extra BBQ sauce? YUM.

Just a heads up, though – you might need a nap after this meal.

Why we love this recipe: it has instructions for grilling and baking.

Vegetarian succotash

Succotash became popular during war times because it was cheap and easy to make, but also filled with vitamins and nutrients.

Everyone has their own version, but at its heart it’s a medley of different vegetables like corn, peppers, and lima beans.

And the best part? There’s no added bacon or cream (unlike most southern recipes!).

Why we love this recipe: it’s budget-friendly.

Garlic herb potato salad

A combo of tomato pie and potato salad will make you feel like it’s summer again.

Since there’s probably already mayo in your tomato pie, this vinegar-based potato salad is the way to go.

It’s lighter and boasts a brighter flavor. Plus you can serve it warm or cold.

Why we love this recipe: the leftovers will still taste great the next day.

Green bean salad

Not all salads are filled with lettuce!

This green bean salad is fresh and crunchy, with some juiciness from the tomatoes and creaminess from the mozzarella.

I know it’s double tomato – but who’s counting!

Why we love this recipe: it’s a great make-ahead salad.

Lemon arugula shrimp salad

If you want a healthy salad with some extra oomph, try this shrimp salad.

The added protein from the shrimp makes sure no one will leave hungry, and if you don’t like seafood, you can easily swap it for chicken or steak.

You can also swap the arugula for kale.

Why we love this recipe: it’s great for a light but filling lunch.

Homemade coleslaw

Bringing the tomato pie to a picnic?

Coleslaw is the perfect crunchy accompaniment to your party treat.

It’s easy to make and the creamy mayo dressing adds a refreshing bite that contrasts with your pies’ rich flavor.

Why we love this recipe: it uses sour cream in the dressing for that extra tangy flavor.

Zucchini and sausage kabobs

Kabobs are one of my go-to side dishes when I’m cooking for a crowd.

The grilling infuses whatever’s on your skewers (zucchini and sausage here) with a delectable smoky flavor.

And you can add even more flavor by soaking your zucchini in a marinade. This recipe recommends using an Italian salad dressing.

Why we love this recipe: it’s a no-fuss dish anyone can make.

Smashed brussels sprouts

Sprouts aren’t just for christmas! And smashing your brussels sprouts is a real game-changer.

The result is extra crispy sprouts with delightfully tender insides and a slightly charred exterior.

A dash of salt and pepper are all these sprouts need, but I like sprinkling them with parmesan cheese to add an extra crunchy layer.

Why we love this recipe: it’ll change the way you see brussels sprouts.
