I make a black bean and corn salad that I always take to picnic's.

 

[EthansMom]

I always make veggies and dip. I have the Pampered Chef dish that keeps the dip chilled for a long time.

Also, cut fruit of any kind goes over well. Usually, I'll do a bowl of cut pineapple or watermelon... or strawberries.

Margaritas and Pina Coladas.

I like to make the Lazy Person's Fruit Salad:

Green grapes plus blueberries.

No chopping required, and the colors look very appetizing together.

Quinoa with Black Beans and Tomatoes --- my new favorite summer side dish.

It's easy to make -- cook 1 cup of quinoa (it expands just like rice). Mix with one can of black beans (make sure to rinse them off), cherry tomatoes cut in half and a lot of chopped cilantro. For the dressing mix some olive oil, lemon or lime juice, red wine vinegar, 2 garlic cloves minced, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste.

It is delicious .... and can sit out for a while because there is no mayo in it.

This sounds great. What is quinoa and where in the store do you find it ??

I prepare a lot of the things already stated. The only thing else I can think of is buffalo chicken dip.

I make Linguini Salad. 1 or 2 lbs of Linguini, Zesty Italian Dressing - 7 Seas is the best, Cucumber, Tomatoe, Black Olives, Salad Supreme, Onion. Actually you can put anything in it you want. The dressing and Salad Supreme make it a wonderful pasta salad.

It is a grain from South America .... it is with the rice and dried beans at my grocery store. They always have it at Trader Joe's, and the largest grocery stores around me also carry it. I guess it's claim to fame is that it is higher in protein than most other grains.
