Bring One Of These 35 Recipes To The Summer Potluck And You'll Always Be The Favorite

This summer, be the ultimate VIP (a 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. In a sea of pasta salads, grill-ables, and appetizers, you definitely want to bring something ultra memorable. These 35 summer potluck recipes will definitely keep you on the invite list again and again (and again).

The first thing to consider when it comes to a great potluck dish is, well, how portable it is. Which is why we love bringing a big summery salad (either green, potato, or pasta-based) that's low-key but big on flavor. Our antipasto potato salad is our new favorite summertime upgrade on the side, but we also have a killer classic potato salad that'll surely become your new go-to. 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. There's also a pasta salad for every occason; Fancy potluck? Try our lobster roll pasta salad. Need a crowd pleaser? Our summer couscous salad is definitely for you. Can't get enough orzo (neither can we)? Our Greek orzo pasta salad will make your dreams come true.

Now that you've impressed everyone with your potlucking skills, check out all of our favorite summer recipes, including summer salads, summer dinners, and summer cocktails!
