What to Serve with Naan Bread – naan isn’t just bread – it’s the VIP pass to hummus, kofta kabobs, Greek nachos and every dip you didn’t know you needed. Check out all my favorite dishes I serve with naan bread.
Okay, let’s be honest—warm naan bread is one of life’s greatest joys. It’s soft, pillowy, and has that slightly charred edge that makes your taste buds do a happy dance.
