Help me pick a side dish

Ladies, I need you.

Tomorrow is our churches trunk or treat and after is a hot dog roast/ potluck. Everyone is supposed to bring a side dish to share.

What side dish should I bring? My go to is potato salad or coleslaw but I was hoping to bring something else.

Thank you!

    My go to for hot dogs is Bushs baked beans, but that gives you some insight into the level of my culinary skills :).

    Tater Tots. Nobody ever brings tater tots and they go so well with chili and cheese, which I'm sure will be there. Now I want chili cheese tots.

    I've been obsessed with quinoa bruschetta salad lately! Super easy..... Cold cooked quinoa, diced tomato, red pepper and red onion. Then mix up some olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt pepper, oregano and basil for a dressing. It's super fresh and very pretty. You can even add some feta if you want (I am in love with feta and always add a ton).

    I think a roasted winter vegetable salad would be good, or a pasta salad. For pasta salad I do penne, artichoke hearts, raw spinach, tomatoes, cubed mozzarella, fresh basil, olives, and avocado if you want to be a little crazy with just balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

    Everyone and their mom is going to do potato salad and baked beans. After all that candy, I'd love a pasta salad. Tricolor pasta tossed with cucumbers, tomatoes, broccoli, scallions, kalamata olives, sweet red peppers, carrots, and feta cheese. Toss with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, plenty of salt and pepper. It also makes for great leftovers. As a single gal I'd make a huge pot of this and eat it all week.

    I second pasta salad! You could probably make it with stuff you already have, and it wouldn't be a big deal if it sits out for a bit. Yummmmm......

    Cucumber/tomato salad ...

    All you do is cut up a crap load of each, add some feta cheese and a creamy dressing like ranch or something you like ...it's soo good!

    Pasta salad using McCormick's Salad Supreme and Italian dressing. I make it tomatoes, cucumbers, green peppers, and olives, but you can use any veggies or cheese cubes. It's always a hit when I bring it to parties.

    Other big hits at my parties are cornbread (pumpkin bread would be so good too!) and taco dip with chips. (I don't make taco dip but my sister says it's easy.)

    I've got all kinds of thoughts in my head right now.

    But as far as side dishes, I think you got enough answers ;) What are you making?

    Oh my :\"> YGPM

    I'll probably end up doing a pasta salad. Today is going to be super busy and I need something so easy that it's possibly to forget about it and still make it in time, you know?

    I would pick a non-mayo based salad of some sort. My current fave is a tomato,cucumber, avocado salad. I also add a little bit of good olive oil and some diced mozz cheese.

    Ingredients:
    3 small Persian cucumbers or garden cucumbers
    1 cup diced tomato or cherry tomatoes 
    1/4 cup thinly diagonally sliced green onion or thinly sliced sweet onion
    1 avocado
    2 tsp. fresh lemon juice (optional, for tossing with avocado)
    about 1 T good-quality balsamic vinegar
    sea salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste


    I definitely salivated to this. Lol

    Guys. The hotdog/side dish/s'mores portion was cancelled because of high wind.

    I was halfway through making the pasta salad before I got the message.

    Thanks for all the help :)

    Hopefully you can still make the pasta salad and eat it this week. That's what I would do.

    Oh, I made the hell out of that pasta salad! And I sent 3/4 home with my neighbors since it's just DS and I and there is no way we could eat it all.
