need ideas to take to bbq

OK, so this isn't an appetizer, but a side dish.... from a good Cajun camp cook.

Mike's Purple Cold Slaw
1 head purple cabbage, shredded
1 red onion, sliced thin
1 TBSP poppy seeds
1/2 cup (or more) chopped walnuts, lightly toasted
raspberry vinigrette (Mike used Newman's Own)

Mix everything together. Takes about 1/2 a bottle of the vinigrette.
Unlike mayonaise based cold slaws, this one you can leave out at room temperature. And being purple, it's rather funky.

Stuffed mushroom caps:

clean off the mushrooms
pull out the stems
fill the caps with cream cheese
sprinkle dill on top


Quinoa Salad:

cook up a bunch of quinoa and let it cool completely
chop purple onions, celery, and tomatoes
add balsamic vinegar and olive oil
mix it all up, it ends up looking rather pretty with the purple onion
(you might want to add salt, too)

Everything sounds good, now I have to decide which to make. Whatever I don't make today I will be making in the future for me and the dear bf.
mm making me hungry again!!
