app or dessert? an recipe rec's please.

[janiejones]

I'm going to a big BBQ tomorrow, I am to bring an app or dessert.

I am not feeling inspired.  I want something EASY, but fun & awesome.  And reasonably inexpensive.  And vegetarian.  Heath isn't going to bring caprese salad on toothpicks.  Stop trying to make that happen people.

Frozen key lime pie. It's super easy and really good. I make Dream Whip instead of using Reddi Whip because Dream Whip is tastier and fat free. And fat free sweetened condensed milk. And key lime juice from a bottle. It's so good I want to die. Seriously, it takes like 3 minutes to make.

Oh, and I keep it in the fridge because DH prefers it non-frozen. It doesn't need 8 hours in the freezer.

I have a black bean salsa that I love and is usually a big hit.

Would you want to do something like that?

I love this watermelon feta salad. Sounds weird but it's delicious!

6 cups cubed watermelon
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
¼ cup chopped fresh mint
¼ cup fresh lime juice
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

Black Bean Salsa:

2 15oz cans of black beans, drained and rinsed
1 17oz (or close to it) can shoepeg corn
3 large tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1/2 red onion, chopped (I usually do this in my small food processor so it is really fine)
1/8-1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3-4 tbs lime juice
2 tbs olive oil
1 tsp salt
3 Tbs red wine vinegar.

now, a lot of this is done to taste. Sometimes I need to add more salt, sometimes I don't. You can also add avocado.

I love this with chips, on chicken/beef/fish. It's just good.

I just read a recipe for a cucumber.blueberry/feta salad. Sounds interesting.
