What would be some really good food for a pool party?

Question

We're going to be having burgers and hot dogs, but I don't know what type of sides would be good but different at the same time. Drinks would be good to know about too.

Answer 1

Pool Party Pasta salad

1 (16 ounce) package farfalle (bow tie) pasta

1 cup broccoli florets

8 ounces fresh asparagus spears, trimmed and chopped

8 ounces diced cooked chicken breast meat

1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, drained

1 (4 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained

1 medium green bell pepper, seeded and diced

1/2 pint cherry tomatoes, halved

4 ounces crumbled feta cheese

1 cup Italian salad dressing, or as needed

salt and pepper to taste

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta, and cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Add broccoli florets and asparagus to the boiling water during the last 5 minutes. Drain, and run under cold water to cool.

In a large serving bowl, stir together the diced chicken, kidney beans, black olives, green pepper, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese and Italian dressing. Stir in the pasta, broccoli and asparagus. Season with salt and pepper to taste. I like it pretty heavy on the pepper. This salad is best if chilled for a couple of hours before serving.
