Hey there, Reader,
Nobody needs another burger at the cookout. What they need is something that travels well, doesn't need to be reheated, and makes the host wonder how you had time.
These three are what I love to bring. They hold up in a cooler and none of them touch a grill (which is fine with me given our current 90°+ heat wave).
Olive oil Italian tuna salad with capers: the one nobody expects and everybody finishes. Good Italian tuna packed in olive oil, capers, lemon. I also love it as an appetizer with crackers or crusty bread and watch it disappear first.
Italian arugula salad: five minutes, dressed right before you walk out the door. Peppery, bright, cuts through everything heavy on the table.
Grandma's quick giardiniera: the jar that makes everything else taste better. Spoon it over sandwiches, sausages, whatever's on the table. This is the one people ask you to bring again.
Stay cool, my friend!
