Fancy luncheon
 

I am to have a nice luncheon for company for lunch I thought of fruit Pizza for dessert but now what do I serve as the main course?? D you have some fancy sandwich recipes or something lady like!!

I would do a salad plate. Chicken salad served in a quarter of a sliced pineapple, broccolli salad, carrot salad. Then do a light dessert like chocolate pudding w/ suagr cookie. All home made.

I made tiny little chicken salad sandwiches made with red grapes, toasted almonds, dill and poppyseeds. Everyone liked the chicken salad. I served grapes and angelfood cake for dessert. I made a fruit punch and Crystal Light Appletini.

I am having a luncheon tomorrow and am serving this recipe

I have had success with little cream puffs filled with chicken salad (try making chicken salad with a roasted chicken from the market yumm) also little cucumber sandwiches made with the small deli rye loaf the approx. 2X2 inch pieces topped with a thin sliced cucumber (cut the cuke skin with little "Vs" for decoration) use a dill spread. These are an open faced sandwich. Have a nice veggie try and put the dips in big Red, Yellow, Green cored sweet peppers, cut a little off the bottom so the pepper sits upright without tipping. Hope you have a good time, these are fun.

OMG thanks for all the good ideas , they all sound yummy now I have to choose. Maybe I can take one item from each suggestion! Thanks again.

I just did a luncheon for my girls and made Turkey Waldorf sandwiches, (go to Cooks.com and put that in). They loved them especially on the raisen bread. Also made a cauliflour soup. i.e soup and salad

Chicken salad on croissants.... maybe homemade potato soup and homemade bread...then your fruit pizza...ONE OF MY FAVORITES!!!

I did crab mornay served over/in puff pastry shells and a fruit salad for a luncheon, with a choice of pies for dessert. It was a hit--but the crab mornay is a bit expensive if you are having to make enough for a large group.

I would like to have the recipe for the crab mornay please. Thank you.
