try this...... 2 cans shoepeg corn drained, cherry tomatoes cut in half, cucumber slices cut in quarters and bottled ranch dressing. I thought YUCK but decided to try it and it was GREAT. oh yes....salt & pepper to taste. Can't get much simpler and will be a hit.

Buy 3or 4 different kinds of sausage in casings some may need to be cooked once cooked slice up into rings and add finely chopped green onions chopped dill pickles and some cucumber.Toss with your favorite Italian dressing or make a garlic lemon Parmesan cheese one This holds well at room temp. Green or black olives can also be used. THe sausage can be turkey or chicken.

Our guild is having a pot luck dinner with our party. I am out of ideas for a dish to bring. The hot stuff is usually cold by the time everyone gets through the line. They have way toooooooooooooo many deserts.
I am looking for a side dish that does not have to be kept hot. Hoping to avoid the obvious potato and macaroni salads.

Barley Salad
I use whole barley not the pearl or polished barley.
Cook 2 cups of barley according to package instructions.
While it is cooking, I process 1 carrot, 1 onion, 1 stalk of celery, a small hand full each of Broccoli and cauliflower ( you can save the tops for using with dip and only process the stems if you want)
Then I de-seed and hand cut up some of the following: zucchini squash, cucumber, yellow squash or any other vegetable you like, just be sure to de-seeded them. The seeds are what usually cause the veg's to go bad faster.
Once the barley is done, I mix all the vegetables in with the barley add salt and pepper to taste and a little bit of lemon or lime juice and that's it.
Do not add any dressing other then the lemon or lime juice. The lemon or lime juice helps the vegetables stay fresh longer.
It can be eaten just like it is or if someone likes a little vinaigrette or other type of dressing on it they can add it themselves.
I love this stuff anytime of the day or night and it's healthy! Not like most of the junk food you find at get togethers.
