What are some great Thanksgiving sides that can be served at room temperature?
I've been asked to bring a few sides for Thanksgiving, but the hostesses kitchen is small and I won't be able to heat anything up. What can be made ahead of time and served at room temp?

I made that the other day except I swapped the goat cheese for feta (cow's milk) and used mustard powder (no dijon), rice wine vinegar and added a bit of sugar to the dressing. Also only had red and white onions, but added some green onion as well. Toast the walnuts but careful not to burn them. Maybe make it ahead and serve feta or goat cheese once you get there?

The onion salad Marian posted recently is shockingly good, too: https://food52.com/recipes/31997-roasted-onion-salad-with-arugula-and-walnut-salsa
Here's another roasted veg salad that is really tasty: http://www.sproutedkitchen.com/home/2013/11/14/autumn-salad-with-horseradish-vinaigrette-news.html
This salad is pretty surprising, and gorgeous to boot: https://food52.com/recipes/26899-molly-stevens-roasted-fennel-red-onion-and-orange-salad

Also the NPR cranberry sauce is great...but not a sub for normal cranberry sauce as some people don't like the color and the horseradish element.

I haven't made it yet, but the Roasted Onion Salad from Plenty More also looks fabulous: https://food52.com/recipes/31997-roasted-onion-salad-with-arugula-and-walnut-salsa
