Salad by Jode
My sister shared this one with me and we love it!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's easy too! Take a bag of shredded coleslaw mix (with carrots), add 6 green onions (sliced), one cup frozen peas (mix frozen), one half/one cup peanuts or cashews and stir in creamy poppyseed salad dressing. You can alter the proportions depending on our likes/dislikes. It's easy and everyone I've served it to loves it. I just bought some broccoli slaw to try it with. Anyway, thought I'd pass that one along. Jode

Potluck Picnic Ideas by Mrs D
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For dishes that need to stay cold, I like to put my serving bowl in a considerably larger bowl, fill the larger bowl w/ water (so the serving bowl is surrounded by water) & pop them in the freezer over night. Just b/4 we head out I put the refrigerated side dish in the frozen serving bowl & cover all w/ foil. Just be sure not to fill the bowl to the rim as water expands when it freezes.
I also like to make a watermelon basket & fill it w/ frozen fruit. I make it just enough ahead of time so that the fruit is just thawed enough not to break a tooth, but still very chilly. It's a refreshing treat on these bone-melting hot days.

Taco Salad by Mom2two
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I usually have to double this recipe at potlucks. It goes fast.
1 head of lettuce
2 cans of Kidney beans (drained and rinsed)
2 tomatoes, chopped
shredded chedder cheese ( I don't measure, maybe 2-3 cups)
bottle of 3 cheese ranch (I pour enough to coat all the lettuce)
Crushed Doritos (don't measure that either.. I put alot!)
Tear up the lettuce and put in bowl. Add the next 3 ingredients. Mix in the Doritos and dressing right before serving. When sitting too long the Doritos will get soggy.
