I’ve been eating the shite out of okra and tomatoes and corn macaque choux lately.

I like the idea, but is the cucumber salad more of a salad over a side?

I mean shite. I’ve Nevermind been to any company potluck where the coworkers judge me on the quality of the dish I bring. It’s free food for frick’s sake, and I’d probably make best friends with the dude that stopped at the bbq joint for a rack of ribs.

You’re really overthink8ng this. But, if you insist, just throw some capers on a pasta salad and call it real.

More of this is about what you can pull off properly given the circumstances. Do you bring the food when its time to eat, or beforehand some time and are expected to keep it hot or get it hot? Is there a way to get the food hot?

church pot luck type stuff I believe will be frowned upon.

I might get away with a pasta salad that has fancier ingredients

So, hipsters. Ok.

Mexican street corn casserole.

Del Monte Whole Kernel Fire-Roasted Corn
Mayonnaise With Lime Juice
Tajin Fruit and Snack Seasoning
Cotija or parmesan cheese
Fresh Cilantro
Mix together, top with goat cheese, bake.

ETA: drain the corn.

I say it every time this type.of thing comes up..... tamale casserole.

edited to add - I went back and looked at those before. me. All are good. Here are some more of the 98,473 possible sides you could make and take.

Mix two or three cans of whole green beans with a can of diluted mushroom soup, a quarter cup of almond slithers and top with Durkies onion rings. Bake in 325 degree oven until bubbly - maybe 45 minutes. Just like Aunt Jean brought to every Thanksgiving lunch for the past 45 years. Not worthy of cooking blue ribbon, but everyone eats them.

Cook frozen Green (English) peas with a couple of potatoes peeled and cut up in them. (Good for strict vegetarians).

Make whole new potatoes, boiled with butter and parsley.

Do baked beans - 2 - 4 cans of Campbells (good) pork and beans, 1/2 - 1 cup chopped onions, 1/4 - 1/2 cup Bell peppers, 1 - 2 cloves garlic, chopped, 4 - 8 Tablespoons ketchup, 1 - 2 Tablespoons Worchester sauce. 1/4 - 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 -2 Tablespoons yellow mustard, Salt and black pepper. If not worried about vegetarians, 1 - 2 cups fried bacon (crumbled) or pork BBQ (chopped) or smoked sausage (diced). Bake in covered bean dish for 45 minutes - 1 hour at 325 degrees F

Another addition - Humus and pita bread. Make three or four different kinds and lots of pita, cut into quarters or eights. If you like more then that, add a plate of radishes, cauliflower and feta cheese cubes along side the humus. Really fancy? Add some dried figs to the mix.
