Ideas for Mother's Day lunch

[whiteiris]

It's Mother's day here in Australia on Sunday coming. The weather is still warm but not hot. I want to make a light 2-course lunch for DM. There will be 4 adults in total. No mushrooms. I'm needing inspiration please.

Is she particularly fond of anything? I know my Mum loves salmon and chicken and for dessert anything with ice cream.

Caprese salad
Spaghetti with prawns, chilli, and parsley

Or

Marinated feta salad
Chicken and clementine tagine with cous cous

Or

Gazpacho
Seafood paella

Or

Fig, walnut, goats cheese and honey salad
Salmon Wellington with watercress and peas

How about salmon and veg in filo followed by peach & passionfruit meringue trifle?

Hmmmm she likes raspberries. No special savoury likes that I can recall.

Raspberry payola for pudding? You could make the meringue the day before.

Have you decided yet White?

No Jilted. Tbh a lot of the suggestions look scary-difficult to me!!!!! I must have simpler tastes than I realized! Will keep pondering :)

I'm thinking of spinach, feta and tomato slice with simple green salad. Still pondering dessert.

Pavlova will go well with that but I'll buy the meringue as it's one thing I make really badly.

We all have something that we aren't as good at, mine is pastry

It's Mother's Day on Sunday here in Texas too and it will be warm. We're having friends and their kids round, im doing a big paella with green salad and crusty bread followed by strawberry cheesecake and lots of white sangria for us mums
