You don't have to tell anyone! You can have the caprese salad, and a plain burger (no bun) or if you're a vegetarian, just bring some veggie burgers with you and throw them on the grill. If everyone says salad is taken care of, then there should be something you can eat from that. At a barbeque, people will probably not pay too much attention to what you eat. If you normally have a beer or wine, people will probably ask you why you are not drinking, but you can just say you are taking antibiotics or something. If they ask "what for?" (people are nosy), just say a sinus infection.
