Need an awesome side dish for your next summer get-together? Look no further! We've got suggestions ranging from classic macaroni salad to Asian coleslaw!

Potlucks really are the best, aren’t they? It seriously boggles my mind that you only have to make one dish and then end up tasting a fantastic variety of other dishes. Minimal effort with maximum rewards!

I’m going to let you in on a little secret . . . I love bringing new dishes to potlucks! There’s just something so satisfying about having people come up to you after they’ve enjoyed every last bite of your side dish and ask you for the recipe.

In choosing the recipes for this round-up, I wanted sides that go beyond the traditional and get everyone’s taste buds buzzing. Each one of these sides really is meant for summer potlucks because they’re quick and easy to make.

I’m going to sound like a broken record, but it’s all about minimal effort in making the sides and maximum rewards with flavor, right? The hardest thing for you will be deciding which one to make!
