Anything suggestions on anything more interesting than a pasta salad?

A couple of things come to mind. A simple salad of sliced potatoes, chopped scallions and herbs of your choice, dressed with a vinagrette. Can sit forever at room temp.

Black bean salad. You can spend all day cooking or you can open a can of black beans and a can of niblets corn, both drained, chop a bunch of scallions, halve some grape tomatoes, chop a colorful pepper, chop some cilantro, and dress it with fresh lime juice and olive oil.
