what to bring to a cookout

Hi,

I have a cook-out to go to on Saturday.  Anyone have any suggestions on something quick and easy that I could bring?

Re: what to bring to a cookout

  • I'll have to get the recipe from my mother, but she's been making a cucumber salsa lately that I'm in love with.

    I also really like my taco salad (the recipe is on pams site) with doritos

  • This is a huge hit when I bring it anywhere! 

    Wagon Wheel Taco Pasta Salad
    1lb wagon wheel pasta
    1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
    1 10oz package frozen corn (I don't even bother thawing it, because I always make this at least a few hours before serving, so it plenty of time to defrost)
    2 medium tomatoes, seeded and diced
    8oz shredded Mexican-blend cheese
    1 1/2 cups salsa
    1/2 cup olive oil
    3-4 tbsp lime juice
    1 tbsp cumin
    1-2 tsp chili powder
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    freshly ground salt & pepper
    1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

    1 avocado, diced

    Cook the pasta al dente according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water.

    In a large bowl, combine the black beans, corn, tomatoes, salsa, and cheese. Add the cooled pasta and mix well.

    In another bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, garlic, cumin and chili powder. Pour over the pasta salad, add the cilantro, and mix well. Season to taste with salt & pepper.

    Just before serving, stir in the diced avocado
