You can put this solution on YOUR website! If there is 16 side dishes and you have to choose 3, how many different options are there?
-------------
The 1st choice is 1 of 16, then 15, then 14
= 16*15*14 = 3360
---
But, choosing A, B & C is the same as B, C & A
There are 3*2*1 = 6 ways to choose A, B & C
3360/6 = 560 different options
