Recommend food to bring to a pot luck BBQ

Someone is already bringing a pasta salad, hamburgers and corn on the cob.

I usually take a big green salad (usually a spinach salad with strawberries and poppyseed dressing) to pot lucks. It always gets eaten and I think people appreciate it because it balances out a lot of the heavier dishes you tend eat (at least in my family the macaroni and cheese, various cheesy casseroles, potato salads, fried things, etc. are heavily represented, LOL.)

Fruit and fresh veggies. You could also do a lighter salad. This is one that I've been wanting to try.

Guacamole and nachos.

Baked beans?  You could stick them in the crock pot.  Let me know if you need a good recipe!

I made a crock pot full of "Calico Beans".  It is made with ground beef (I used ground turkey) and about 5-6 different kids of beans (including 2 cans of vegetarian Bush's baked beans.  Also, a whole bottle of Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce.  It was a HUGE crockpot full and there was only one tiny dessert dish size left!

That black bean salad recipe looks so good!
I like to bring watermelon to BBQ - or you could bring a dessert.

I agree with a nice green salad.... it lightens up the traditionally heavy BBQ foods, and alot of people appreciate that .
