If you want kids to like it, I would suggest a fruit salad. You can use grapes, canned pineapple, peaches/nectarines (canned if fresh is not available), strawberries, bananas, etc. You don't have to use exotic or expensive fruit with kids.

If you want parents to like it, then maybe a pasta salad.

I always do pasta salad for a quick, cheap side that can be served room temperature or cold. I use the tri color rotini so it looks pretty and add part of a bottle of Zesty Italian dressing. Let it marinate for a few hours and your good to go. If you want to dress it up you can add diced tomatoes, diced olives, diced cheese or pepperoni slices.

A watermelon. Just take it & slice it there. Doesn't get any easier than that!
