Hit me with your best outside dining cold meals please!

[FleetwoodRaincoat]

Having the family over for Fathers' Day on Sunday, so thought I'd do salads, cold meats etc. And then I thought it sounded really dull. So I'm hoping you lot can give me your best ideas for salads, main dishes that aren't just plain chicken etc. So salad and cold meats but more exciting iyswim.

In terms of the protein element, I've come up with chicken, king prawns and halloumi so far. Please inspire me!

Cherry tomatoes, feta and pomegranate seeds with olive oil and oregano

Watermelon, feta and mint is also a nice salad

A quiche Lorraine with massive amounts of bacon lardons is also appealing

Big bowl of cous cous with roasted veg on top with a harissa dressing - www.deliaonline.com/recipes/collections/delias-summer-collection/roasted-vegetable-couscous-salad-with-harissa-style-dressing

Coronation chicken
Frittatas
Baked ham
Home made rustic pate with French bread

Potato salad, breadsticks and hummus, coleslaw, pasta salad with sweet corn.

Jamie Oliver sausage rolls, not normally a fan but these are made in minutes and extremely delicious.

Salmon and asparagus quiche. Made a pasta salad recently to go with burgers that was a hit. Was cooked pasta, cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced raw courgette, black olives, spring onions, mozzarella torn up, grated parmesan and a vinaigrette.
Pavlova always good.

Posh quiche (I do crab, asparagus and sautéed leeks in mine)
Halloumi with some sort of dressing - honey lemon and thyme is nice
Steak with salsa verde or chimichurri
A one pot dish that could be carried from oven to table if you don't want all cold? Nigella does a good line in those.
Interesting salads - peach, prosciutto and rocket with gran padana is nice.

Nigella Lawson's Vietnamese chicken salad. They'll lick the bowl.

I’m not really a fan of cold halloumi; my family agree that it’s much better served warm as burgers or in a traybake.

I’d do a side of salmon, pesto pasta salad, lemony couscous salad with flaked almonds, mozzarella pearls and cherry tomatoes, green salad and chargrilled lemon garlic chicken

A whole salmon, baked in foil, served cold with various salads always looks impressive, would be a great centrepiece for a special family meal.

You've mentioned prawns, but a mixed seafood platter is another idea, and always looks interesting!

A joint of rare roast beef or a baked ham joint are other ideas.

Pulled pork if you can manage one hot dish

Thanks for all your replies, lots to think about there.

Spanakopita is great hot or cold
Tabbouleh

chicken and potato salad

Just thought I'd update on what I'm doing.
Pork Pie (Dad's favourite)
Hard boiled eggs
Ham
Cheeses
Falafel
Frittata
King Prawns
Pea, mint and feta salad
Fruited lemon couscous
Waldorf salad
Beetroot salad
Mixed leaves
Fresh bread
Pickles
Hummus

All to be eaten indoors as it's going to rain all day apparently

Thanks for all your replies - have made a note of some of these for another time.

I know it's too late but this salad is a great addition to a cold spread
