Vegetarian Side Dish Recommendation
We're having supper tomorrow night with good friends and offered to bring part of the dinner. They are serving quiche and mushroom soup and asked us to bring a salad and a vegetarian side dish. We're 4 adults and 3 teenage children. I'm good with the salad but stumped on the side dish. I thought about melissav's butternut squash, but my husband won't eat ricotta salata and isn't wild for pesto. I need something I can make ahead. And I'm working tomorrow, so I don't want it to be too much of a project. Can y'all help?

It's served cold or room temp and can be made ahead.
My other suggestion would be a veggie you can do in the crock pot. I recommend roasted garlic broccoli with hazlenuts from the blog "A Year of Slow Cooking" http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/2008/12/broccoli-with-toasted-garlic-and.html
They're quick, easy, delicious.

It is very good served warmish as well as hot.
A&M preferred it at room temperature so you could make it ahead, then just add the gremolata bread crumbs before serving.
