I have a handful of potlucks coming up and need some new inspiration for good dishes to bring. I prefer vegetarian dishes because (1) I have a lot of vegetarian/vegan friends, and (2) I'm often asked to bring something to supplement a grilled protein. My go-to dish is a basmati rice, three-bean, sweet pepper salad dressed in rice wine vinegar and served at room temperature. I love it, as does everyone who's had it, but I need a few other tricks up my sleeve.

If you have any suggestions, please throw 'em my way. I'd prefer dishes that don't have dairy because keeping them at a proper temp is always a concern.

Thanks in advance!
