That's one of the reasons we love bringing a big summery salad (either green, potato, or pasta-based) that's low-key to make, but still big on flavor. The first thing to consider when it comes to a great potluck dish is, well, how portable it is. In a sea of average summer salads, grill-ables, and appetizers, these 45 summer potluck recipes are super memorable, and will definitely keep you on the invite list again and again (and again). This summer, be the ultimate VIP (Very Important Potlucker) with a few of our favorite easy summer potluck recipes. With all the special occasions on the calendar ( graduations! Fourth of July! Juneteenth! Memorial Day! Just a random Tuesday!), you don't want to come to the party empty-handed.
