I'm bringing dinner to a friend with a new baby and a toddler this afternoon. I made barbecue pulled pork (bringing buns) and fruit salad. I want to bring another side - something I can just pick up at the grocery store or even a take-out place.
My initial thoughts were potato salad or macaroni and cheese - but they are dairy, soy and coconut free. The dairy is what's tripping me up. Any suggestions?

What's in the potato salad that has dairy? Thought this one (also pasta salad) were usually dairy-free.

@daniellemybelle: sweet potato fries? baked beans? salad?
If you were going to make your own, there are some great dairy free recipes out there

@Adira: I thought mayo had dairy in it, but I guess not!
Pasta salad is a great idea! I bet I could get some at Whole Foods.

Might be boring, but I love green beans with bbq meats

@Adira: I put eggs in my potato salad... but now I'm wondering... I don't think eggs are considered dairy. Hmmm...

@bluestriped bee: @Adira: I know they are sometimes lumped in with dairy even though they are from a totally different animal - so funny! This family used to be egg free but their son can now have eggs so it's just the dairy

@bluestriped bee: @daniellemybelle: Yeah, I think eggs used to be lumped with dairy in the food pyramid, but when it comes to allergies, it's a whole separate beast!

This potato salad is amazing and makes a ton. http://addapinch.com/cooking/southern-potato-salad-recipe/
It's not too much mayo, even though it seems like a lot.

@Ash: Crap! I gave them store-bought potato salad and it totally had soy. 
Well, I failed this challenge, haha. Hopefully their toddler was satisfied with the pulled pork and fruit salad!

@daniellemybelle: If their toddler is anything like my toddler, he probably just ate crackers or cereal instead of the meal you brought. Kind of like how H ate crackers last night instead of the lasagna I made her.

@avivoca: Haha, I know, right? That's totally why I made fruit salad because I know LO will always eat fruit.
