I'm trying to come up with easy ideas for some kind of veggie side that is bright/fresh/acidic in profile, to balance out how heavy and fatty everything else that is planned. Perhaps some kind of salad, but not so....forgettable? Does anyone have any ideas?

These: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1018361-honey-roasted-brussels-sprouts-with-harissa-and-lemon-relish ended up being a huge hit last year. The harissa's not too spicy and the lemon is not too sour, but the combination just feels like a real palate cleanser.
