NEED IDEAS FOR FUND RAISER CHURCH PICNIC 200 PEOPLE

It is going to be a barbecue they are serving shish kabobs, hamburgers, hotdogs, potato salad and cole slaw. I really don't like the idea of salads with mayonnaise outside in the heat but our pastor doesn't think it's a problem. I am on the fund raising committee, so I will need to make a side dish. Maybe a dessert? I know it's a lot of people so it has to be easy. Any suggestions would really be appreciated. Thanks

Regarding the mayonnaise salads, I'm with you. Maybe you could ask the people bringing these salads to keep them on ice and to remove them in a set amount of time. If you have several crock pots, you could make baked beans or jazzed up pork and beans.

I'd make a mayo-less potato salad and I'll bet it gets eaten first!

Try a cold German Potato Salad. Tastyes better than the other anyway!

Broccoli salad....made with greek yogurt,almonds,and cranberries. I usually use Paula Deen's recipe,but substitute here and there. Also 3 or 4 bean salad....easy,fast,and fairly inexpensive.

I also think an Italian dressing pasta salad would be good. ...cheese tortellini, Cubed mozzarella or provolone cheese,pepperoni,black olives,red onion, red /green peppers. Yum. Sometimes I like to use the Vidalia onion salad dressing ...(it's Ken' s brand) instead of Italian.

Do you have the money to rent a shaved ice machine?
