Answer 5

I'd bring something healthy, as most things like that are all junkfood, and people really appreciate some healthy foods at this time of year. How about a fresh fruit salad?

Answer 8

If you take salad, I would take a colorful salad with iceberg lettuce, romaine lettuce or spinach, and tomatoes. Then also tak 2 - 3 different salad dressings.

For a side, green beans with bacon onion and salt & pepper, broccoli & rice casserole, corn, mashed potatoes...the list could go on and on!

Answer 9

Make a dessert. One that I always make that is always a big hit is bread pudding, Emril has one on foodtv.com that I use. I do not use raisen but subsitute chocolate chipsfor them. also, I drizzle carmel ontop. It is ohh so yummy. Your co-workers will love you. If you want, since this takes no time at all you could bring a jello mold which is also easy and depending on the recipe it could go over very well

Answer 10

A really easy salad to bring wold be baby spinach, Mandarin oranges, almond slivers and oil & vinger dressing (or a vinagrette) - it's simple and you can throw it together in a minute.
