For something light and simple, you could take a cucumber/tomato salad:

Olive oil/red wine vinegar (don't overdo it)


Dried/sweetened cranberries


Crumbled walnuts


Salt %26amp; pepperWhat are some good recipes for Potluck at work?
Bacon Cheddar Ranch Dip





Take 16 ounces of sour cream and mix it with one packet of ranch dip. Refrigerate at least one hour or overnight. Before serving, stir in one cup finely shredded sharp cheddar cheese and 3/4 cup real bacon pieces such as hormel or oscar mayer. Serve with pretzels, chips, vegetables, etc.

Easy Mexican Dip





Take 8 ounces of softened cream cheese and spread into the bottom of a pie plate. Dump salsa on top. Cover with shredded cheddar cheese. Microwave 2-4 minutes until the cheese is melted. Serve with scoops tostito chips. You can add refried beans, olives, or any other toppings you like.
POTLUCK BROWNIES





1 pkg. Duncan Hines chocolate cake mix (any variety)


1 egg


1/3 c. oil


1/3 c. water


1 c. chocolate chips


1 c. nuts (optional)





Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix together all ingredients until just blended. Bake in a greased 9 x 13 inch pan for 23 minutes. (Brownies will appear not quite set.) Cool in pan and cut into 24 brownie bars.
I always take easy chili beans.





1 lb Ground Beef


1 onion


1 red bell pepper


1 green bell pepper


2 large cans of pinto beans


1 large can of crushed tomatoes


1 jar of salsa





Brown the meat then add the onion and peppers. Salt and pepper to taste. Then add the beans, tomatoes and salsa. Bring to a simmer and voila.
This is the one that all my co-workers and family ask me to bring to all our get together, there is a dessert here also just in case you want to bring one











Pasta Salad





2 lb box twisty macaroni


1 green pepper diced fine


1 small onion diced fine


1 large can black olives diced


2 tomatoes diced


2 cups Parmesan cheese


1 bottle of Italian dressing


1 bottle of French dressing


2 packages of pepperoni cut into pieces





cook macaroni until done drain and cool. Once it's cold mix in veggies and pepperoni, mix in cheese and all of dressing. It may seem like a lot of dressing but as it sets it will absorb into macaroni








Cheesecake Pops





1 cake mix any flavor


1 8oz bar cream cheese


sucker sticks or large toothpicks


1 white or chocolate candy coating





make cake as directed. Let cool completely, in large bowl crumble the cake up and mix in cream cheese {I use my hands} form into bite size balls. Insert sticks and place on cookie sheet. Chill a couple hours. Melt the chocolate and dip the pops in chocolate, let harden.


We make chocolate cake with chocolate coating, but strawberry and lemon cake dip in the white chocolate are yummy too
I love the first two answers soo good. We do a lot of potlucks when we are down on our boat in Mexico. A couple that work for us are cucumber and jicama with lime juice and chili powder sprinkled over the top. Or a simple tuna dip using canned tuna mixed with mayo like starting a tuna for a sandwich but then add capers and horseradish with garlic and a little lime. Serve with a spicy tostodos type chip. Also you can't go wrong with chicken wings.
Cajun Caviar





2 cans blackeye peas drained


chopped onion and green pepper


diced jalepeno pepper (or hot banana pepper)


italian dressing





mix all together and chill. Serve with tortilla chips(the scoops kind work well)
Pea or corn salad. Drain the veggie,chop onion,dill pickle,add mayo and season.You can add chopped celery,black olives and boiled egg if you like.
