Can you please give a quick idea?

Question

It's a beautiful day today, and I'm going on a picnic. A friend of mine who is such a great chef is going to barbecue some spareribs. There will be plenty of salads and desserts. I want to bring a side dish, can you please give me some ideas? It has to be something that won't require much cooking. I don't have much time.
Thanks
10 points for the best creative idea!

Additional Details

Backward, that's kind of cheap!

Lifestyle, mashed potatoes have to stay hot. That won't work.

Baked beans are always there.

Relaxin, I don't have 30 mins but....hm

Plain and simple carrots with humus dip, is most underrated.

Wedges or chunks of tight iceberg lettuce, just big enough to lay a fresh anchovy over the top of each one.. (get anchovies from the deli in a vinaigrette).

Potato salad and coleslaw is always good. Or try a Cornish Pasty

I came up with my own idea: Seafood Bruschetta on French baguette. Brush some veggies cream cheese, add seafood (crab meat), bits of zucchini & squash. U may want to try it, I'll try yours. I wish I could split the point between you and I for creativity! thanks to all for your recipes. =)

Answer 2

You're probably already left for thepicnic by the time I answer this, but here's my idea: Picnic Corn Squares. These are great for picnics as they serve like brownies.

1 can creamed corn
1 can corn, drained
1 (8 oz.) carton sour cream
1 stick butter, melted
1 box Jiffy corn bread mix
2 eggs
1 c. sharp Cheddar cheese, grated

Mix all ingredients except cheese until blended. Bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees in 9 x 13 inch pan. Top with cheese and bake 5 to 10 minutes more, just to melt cheese. Let cool slightly before cutting into squares.

Tribbles also love the left overs!

Answer 3

Alright- I have a few ideas:
~Biscuits- They PERFECTLY complement barbeque
~Coleslaw- Not my personal favorite, but I dunno what you like
~Roasted onion and garlic potatoes- Worth a try!
~Salad with peach, spinach, croutons, and balsamic dressing

Hope this helps
