I love making bowtie pasta salad with Italian dressing, chopped green peppers, halved cherry tomatoes, pepperoni and McCormick's salad supreme seasoning. It's easy, quick and delicious!
ETA: Oops. Just read that you already made a pasta salad. That sounds good. I love that you dyed it green! ?
I always bring pasta salad to pot lucks. I like to do that because I use Italian dressing on it so it doesn't get weird if it sets out like some salads with mayo or miracle whip might.
My mom has a potluck tomorrow. She bought strawberries and pound cake. Cut the pound cake into small cubes, then put on a skewer with a strawberry, and gave whipped cream to dip!
A gal is making a fruit salad. I'm not going to do a dessert. If she wanted to tell everyone what to bring then she shouldn't have made a sign up sheet.
?. So I told my manager I was going to make a salad. But she wrote me down for dessert! I don't even eat sweets at the moment. Why would I bring something I'm not going to eat?
I agree @jess. It is nothing like store bought potato salad. I think I'm going to just make it. They aren't the only ones eating so they can try if they want.
Potato salad goes great with those other foods, imo. Since you're familiar with making it, and you know it's always a hit at other places, just go for it. I've been to a ton of work potlucks in my day and ever have I heard anyone be bratty enough to make negative comments when someone says what they're bringing. Pretty rude of your coworkers!
I'm thinking that is the best route to go! Maybe I'll be a dick and make the potato salad ?
I know everyone else would try it. Why are people so picky? I will eat just about anything! The one thing I don't like people never use anyway. (Water chestnuts) lol
I would still do the potato salad lol but I'm petty ??♀️?...if you want to do something else you could do a dip. Spinach cheese and artichoke dip, buffalo chicken dip, rotel dip, pizza dip.
I would have said potato salad because I love that lol but that clearly a no-go.
You could go the dessert route with cupcakes or cookies but if you want to go more savoury pinwheel sandwiches are fairly easy but I also saw on Pinterest like these macaroni and cheese "cupcakes" that looked really cute.
You could check Pinterest for more ideas with recipes included :)
Personally, I prefer more handheld, bite sized appetizer dishes that are easy to eat and mess free but that's just me :)
