I need a side dish or light entree. My neighbor likes to make desserts for these things so I don't want to bring anything that might "compete"--she's sensitive! Another neighbor is bringing potato salad. I have spaghetti, macaroni, velveeta, shredded cheese, rice, some frozen vegetables, onions, peppers, garlic, lots of spices/herbs and about two hours of prep time if I have to hit the grocery.

Go out and get some fresh tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese (in the water) fresh basil and some good olive oil. Slice the tomatoes and the mozzarella, chop up the basil. Take a large plate and lay the tomatoes out. Put a slice of the mozzarella on each of the tomatoes. Drizzle the tomatoes with olive oil then sprinkle them with the chopped basil. A few dashes of salt over the whole platter, a little fresh pepper as well and you will have an easy and unique tasty platter. Great for a Bar-B-Que

Coleslaw is always a good stand by, but for something a little different I like to make marinated tomato salad. Chop up several tomatos fresh from the garden. Chop up 1 large onion ( I prefer red for the colors ) and a couple of cloves of garlic. Add some of Paul Newman's dressing parmesan & roasted garlic flavor & let sit in the fridge for at least 45 minutes so flavors will mix. Tastes great & looks pretty on the picnic table as well.......

Something that is easy to make is Green Bean Casserole.
I'll use the basic portions, multiply depending on the amount of people to feed:
2 cans of cut green beans
1 can of cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup Chopped bacon or bacon bits
Mix together in a small baking dish. Place in oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Go to the store and buy shredded cabbage and a bottle of coleslaw salad dressing. Mix the two together and there you have it . Quick and easy.

I vote for the coleslaw. Nobody else is bringing any and just as many people like to put coleslaw directly on a BBQ sandwich as eat it on the side.

This is the best pasta salad ever:

I use alot more pasta than it says, to make it easier on the mayo.
Also I use a pinch of dried thyme.
good luck
