How about this cold salad! Everyone I serve it to just loves it. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" /> Broccoli/Craisin Salad Dressing: 1 cup mayo 1/2 cup sugar 2 T. apple cider vinegar Mix in small bowl or jar. Best if made a few hours ahead or even the night before, however, it's pretty darn tasty if made even an half hour ahead. Salad: 2 lbs. broccoli florets (or two small bags of Broccoli) 1 6-oz. bag of craisins (Cherry Flavored or Original, Original is best) 1 lb. bacon, crumbled 1/2-1 cup diced red onion Mix with dressing just before serving.

Taboule is something I do a LOT of when cook-out season is in full swing. Once my own herb garden starts producing, I go from scratch, but this time of year I grab the boxed Near East Taboule off the shelf. Lemon juice, EVOO, white balsamic vinegar, chopped tomato, onion/scallion, avocado ( the lemon juice/balsamic acid keeps the avocado green and fresh) and I'll add julienne/matchstick carrots, snow peas ( or sugar snaps) and possibly some fresh asparagus cuts.
Taboule is a nice pairing with anything off the grill and a tasty Complex Carb/low glycemic index side dish.
Sorry no recipe, I wing it. If taboule is new to you, try it out the easy way first.
Bulgar wheat ( cracked wheat berries) are easy to find, come in coarse, medium and fine, and it is worth experimenting with different textures to find the right one for your tastes.

Georgia, Deb makes a macaroni salad with chopped red & green peppers, chopped onions, broccoli flowerettes, frozen uncooked baby Le Seur Peas and shreaded carrots... NO Celry (it just makes it watery <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Sick.gif" alt="" />)... and maybe some chopped hard boiled egg... then the whole mayo thingy, on the dry side, rather than swimming in it... dusted with sweet paprika for color... no cheese...
bacon bits, if that's your thing... I would rather have it without...
Has to be served cold... not room temp... it's very refershing...
we're having it tonight as a matter of fact (w/o the chopped egg)... to celebrate our first day above 80F... with burgers on the grill...

BigJim... Sounds really good! Deb makes a mean baked beans... but this one is better, I think... Don't tell her tho!
I'd post this one in it's own thread! wouldn't want to loose this recipe because it's buried in another thread! I already have it copied to my recipes folder...

I would either take the corn casserole talked about in earlier posts - I have made it many times for a cook out.It travels well and is just as good hot or lukewarm. Otherwise, I would go with the beans... IMHO.
