Recently moved into a townhouse in a lakeside community. They're having a neighborhood cookout tomorrow and I'm gonna go mingle.
Recommendations on a good summer side dish? Was thinking something like a pasta or veggie salad. Nothing super common like deviled eggs or potato salad cuz I'm sure others will take it.

Queso*
1lb kale, stemms removed and torn or cut into small pieces
2 sweet apples, finely diced
4-5 ounces of a good sharp cheddar, finley diced to be same size as apple (you want about the same amt of apple as cheddar)
Coarse chopped toasted almonds, however much you like
Mix all that together
Dress with a 2:1 evoo:fresh lemon juice vinaigrette with some minced garlic and salt and pepper to taste
top with a little finely grated Parmesan at the end.
And voila, you'll impress your new neighbors and make some friends.

Made it and it's actually not. It's really good!
Cheddar and Apple really balance out well while the almonds give texture and the kale kinda breaks down a little in the vinaigrette. Parm just a little salty finish on top.
It works.
Go rogue and make a home made bbq sauce.

Cowboy caviar: black beans (rinsed), corn, finely diced red onion & jalapeño, cumin, cilantro, fresh lime juice. Dead easy. Serve with tortilla chips (like the green bag ones if you live in the states).
