What to bring to BBQ party

[mrsfoof]

I need some ideas please. I've been invited to my boss' BBQ party this afternoon. They're providing the usual chicken, sausages etc. - invitation said food / drink contributions would be appreciated.

I was hoping expecting it to be rained off so haven't made anything and haven't really got time now. So I'd welcome ideas of what I can buy in the supermarket en route that's a bit more exciting than crisps and dips but needs no prep.

Potato salad or coleslaw

I would take wine and a dessert , cheesecake or something like that

No to shop bought salads. Grim

Ice lollies
Ice cream
Fancy sauce
pickled onions
Bananas and chocolate...to wrap on foil and put at the en

Buy some cubed cherry tomatoes and mozzeralla balls along with pesto dressing, cocktail sticks and a foil platter. Spike a cherry tomato and mozzeralla ball onto a stick with maybe a basil leaf. Can be done in car in carpark. (Not idea but needs must) Drizzle over dressing when you arrive

Mix together cubed watermelon, deseeded and sliced cucumber and either crumbled feta or (better) salted peanuts. Squeeze over a bit of lime juice. Salad of the summer 😋

Some lovely ideas here - thanks!

Even easier several large watermelons? Can just cut into slices with napkins?

cloudy or pink lemonade

Homemade potato salad, a little bit of spring onion in it, really easy.

If children are going to be there and it’s not far a tub of ice cream, ice cream cones and flakes. I mean I live a fine as well :)

A cone not a fine !

Potato salad/coleslaw/quiche.

Oh my God this sounds incredible. I'm going out to buy feta AND peanuts right now!

Can you make anything once there? Canned sweetcorn drained, a pack of red chillies sliced and sprinkled with fresh coriander. Will take you less than 30 mins to assemble.

Lollies as mentioned.

Another quick salad if you will have access to the kitchen is kale leaves chopped, add feta or goats cheese, pecans / walnuts, pumpkin seeds - season and dress with olive oil lemon juice (can add red wine vinegar to the dressing if they/you have it).

You could also get some ready made meringues,
some double cream, vanilla essence and some berries to top - whipping the cream wont take long then you have mini pavlovas.

Some cake or other 'easy to eat' pudding

Id nip to the butchers and grab some bits and go get some alcohol and dessert

We basically lived on that watermelon and feta salad last summer. It is SO lovely, especially with bbq'd meat.

I would bring that, or black bean and corn salad. I love bbqs.
