Help with company potluck?

Question

We are having a pot luck next Thursday at my office and I am supposed to bring something. In the past I have brought things like taco dip, sweet and sour meatballs and sausage balls but I want to try something different. Does anyone have any mouth watering recipes that would be good for a company potluck? There will be about 15 people.

I have a terrific Turkish Bean Salad that everyone loves and it is really easy to make. I never have leftovers. It says it serves 6, but for an office potluck where there are lots of dishes, it serves more.

Serves: 6

3 cans cooked cannelini beans drained and rinsed
1 red onion finely diced
1/2 Cup Kalamata olives pitted and halved
2 ripe tomatoes diced
½ teaspoon Allepo pepper (Optional)
1 bunch Italian parsley chopped fine (reserve 1 Tbs. for garnish).
3 hard-boiled eggs quartered
¼ Cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 Tablespoons good red wine vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients except eggs. Refrigerate, covered, for at least one hour. Garnish with quartered eggs and a sprinkle with chopped parsley.

Answer 4

Curry dip, just add a teaspoon of curry powder or paste to some mayonnaise.

At potlucks people want easy to handle and easy food.I take deviled eggs and stuffed olives.I stuff them with cheeses.Then I get some dry salami and wrap it around some cheese and slices of gherkins.Use toothpicks or pretzel sticks to hold together.I always bring my trays home empty.Easy and also handy for plates to carry them on...

Answer 6

I like to take small chocolate turnovers made with small flour tortillas and good chocolate.

Spread soft butter on a tortilla. For chocolate use broken pieces of bar, milk, semi-sweet, chips, Kisses, German Sweet Baking Choc. or almost any kind of good chocolate. Put small amount in center of tortilla, . Fold using a butchers wrap. Spread top with soft butter and place on baking sheet smooth side up. Bake for about 10 minutes in 400 d. oven. at office, use microwave to heat a couple of seconds. Treat as you would a chocolate croissant. Great served with creamy dip or vanilla ice cream.

Another great take-along. Look in grocery freezer for miniature cream puffs. Stack in a pyramid on pretty plate after you get to office. If chocolate that's all you need. If plain, I like to drizzle with a little chocolate.
