Balancing A Thanksgiving Meal, question [View all]

[leighbythesea2]

Curious here. I've spent the last 15 plus years pursuing the best version of sides, and the best turkey or chicken preps I could find, for Thanksgiving. Have really gotten to a nice place. However, the traditional sides tend to not include anything a)crisp b) acidic. I've added my grandmothers cranberry relish. But that is sweet too.
Are there any great sides you all like, in general, and for balance?

My go to sides so far are,
Mashed potatoes
Stuffing (bobby flays, has wild rice, chorizo, goat cheese)
Corn casserole (lots of cream in this)
Green beans and bacon or brussel sprouts.
Have added mushroom soup (ina gartens) as a starter but can be used like gravy too.

You see the issue. All yummy. But needs something....
