Cookout recipes?

jesslinnn

Anyone have a good recipe? My aunt is having a cookout Sunday and I want to make something a little different (not the typical pasta salad or 7-layer dip). It can be anything. A side dish, dip, dessert... just something to share. Normally I can think of something but I'm drawing a blank. Thanks. :-D

Have you ever made broccoli slaw? It's so good! Here's Paula Deen's recipe:

I have two easy ones. This first one I got from my friend's mom, it's kindof like a homemade fresh salsa... sooo good. It really is addicting and really refreshing. (Sorry the only place I have this one documented is on my blog.... not trying to AW... scroll to the bottom part of the post)

This one is my go-to easy summer dessert recipe. If you don't have a trifle dish you can use just a large clear glass bowl. Again, light and refreshing on a summer day - and relatively guilt-free

"Pig's Delight" (dip, I usually bring pretzels with it)

1 package frozen spinach (the frozen "brick" in the box)

1 jar dried beef

1 cup mayo

1 cup sour cream

dill, to taste

garlic, to taste

Thaw and drain spinach. Chop dried beef into small pieces. Combine all ingredients, refrigerate for 8 hours before serving.

Balsamic Strawberries (and blueberries)

Strawberries, halved

Blueberries (optional)

Balsamic vinegar (start with about a tablespoon, add more if needed)

White Sugar (start with about a tablespoon, add more if needed)

Mix all ingredients and let marinade in the fridge for a couple hours. You can eat them as-is, or top with whipped cream, or use as a topping for ice cream.

I have been craving a lot of fruit lately but this is kind of simple but it is sooo good!  

I just do a fresh fruit tray or bowl and for the dip I mix one jar of marshmallow fluff and one stick of cream cheese together.   I know it may seem odd but it is soooo yummy!
