In reply to the discussion: Ideas for something to bring to a summer potluck picnic? [View all]hlthe2b
(108,026 posts)4. I tend to make tabbouleh salad--heavy on mint, diced tomato, cukes, lemon juice, olive oil because
is refreshing (especially with a heavy hand on the fresh mint leaves) and pretty impermeable to the heat and it goes well with the usual outdoor standard burgers, hotdogs, and other potluck dishes.
Pretty standard recipes, but finely dicing the veggies (with the bulgar wheat) is important and like this recipe, I too like to add a little cucumber (cukes).

That you have electricity gives you more choices, but damn, in this heat, anything with mayo, icing, or that is readily wilted might be too much.

Super easy baked beans in a crockpot or a big baking pan of potatoes au gratin.

Either fresh or frozen corn kernels. Flash boiled to retain crunch. Or drained tinned corn.
