Cold side dishes for TDay

Any suggestions for a side dish I could take to SBIL's tomorrow? We weren't asked to bring anything, Iit's a spur of the moment gesture. It would need to survive an hour long car ride so I was going to avoid hot dishes. I'm bringing cookies too, so no desserts. TIA

  • I am doing a curried couscous that is chilled and tossed with parsley, shredded carrots and dried cranberries (also almonds and green onion if you like them which I do not). It's a major hit with my family.

  • Cranberry relish!  1 bag of cranberries, 2 sweet apples (I used honey crisp), 2 oranges.  All chopped up to the same size - I used my food processor this year.  And then I sprinkle 2-3 Tablespoons of sugar, more if it's still too tart.

  • How about a spinach salad?  You could make the dressing ahead of time and just mix everything together when you get there.  The one I usually make is baby spinach, dried cranberries and slivered almonds.  Everyone loves it even though its usually the only healthy dish..

  • @gollywollypog that was my 1st thought. Being from the south, it was a staple in the menu of family get-togethers. But I've noticed living here in the north east, it's not as popular.
