I suggest either Cara's Wagon Wheel Pasta Salad

or

Tortellini Spinach Salad - just mix 2 bags of cooked cheese tortellini with one bag of baby spinach, thinly sliced red onion, crumbled feta cheese and balsamic dressing

or

you could make a corn bread casserole, which is always a hit when I make it (you can find it on Allrecipes.com)

This is very good: http://www.beantownbaker.com/2009/06/corn-tomato-and-avocado-salad.html 

I've also made it with guacamole when I didn't have a ripe avocado.

Make a no-mayo potato salad. It can sit at room temp without going bad, and people who don't like creamy salads rave about it. Google "Clean Potato Salad." Add a diced cucumber, an extra Tbsp red wine vinegar, and cut the salt down to 1/2 tsp. Recipe is written for ~3lb of red potatoes.

I like cucumber salad

I peel and slice my cucumbers super thin in rounds

Then I chop tons of fresh dill

I mix together sour cream with a few splashes of vinegar

salt and pepper

 Keep chilled.  Its always best to make it ahead of time so the flavors can chill together.

Its great on a hot summer day.  Cucumber just hits the spot for me!

This Orzo Salad with Roasted Vegetables is perfect.  You can make it a day in advance and it will be that much better for your party.

I just posted a cucumber and tomato salad in my blog last night. It would be good for a BBQ because there is no mayo in it, so it can sit out for a while. Plus it's colorful and yummy! Link in siggy

Edit - For a BBQ you would probably want to double or triple the recipe.
