Can't get enough orzo (neither can we!)? Our Greek orzo salad will make your dreams come true. Need a crowd pleaser? Our summer couscous salad is definitely for you. There's also a pasta salad for every type of potluck: Fancy occasion? Try our lobster roll pasta salad. Pasta salads are also the gift that keep on giving they're hearty enough to be a main but also incredible alongside BBQ ribs or sheet-pan Italian subs, plus they only get better with time to marinate. We also have a killer classic potato salad that'll surely become your new go-to, as well as an antipasto potato salad if you're looking for an upgrade. 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.
