Coming up with the perfect dish for a potluck is always tricky. After you go to enough potlucks with twenty casseroles or twenty desserts you start to realize that something is definitely missing. A fresh component is essential for every potluck and is often overlooked because people are so used to cooking the main component of a meal.
Two recommendations for the perfect potluck dish are Caprese and quinoa salads. If your friends aren’t vegan, Caprese salad is by far the fastest and easiest to make. All you have to do is finely slice some fresh mozzarella, tomatoes pick some basil and stack. Then finish of the dish with some fresh balsamic glaze or vinegar and spices. You will get extra points if the basil happens to be fresh from your garden.

If your friends are vegan a quinoa salad is also easy and a deliciously fresh dish to bring. Just cook quinqua and put it in the fridge. Then cut up your preference of fresh herbs and fruit. I suggest finely chopped red onion, blueberries, parsley, cucumber and avocado.
Sprinkle some of your favorite salad vinaigrette on top and mix in with the chilled quinoa. This a beautiful fresh, but filling, dish to bring to any potluck or dinner party!
