Big bowl of homemade coleslaw and salad stuff and you're done I reckon

I would just add a couple of salads like tomato salad/greek salad/garden salad.

other than that it looks lovely.

I think it's good, unless you want to bring in a pasta or couscous salad. I'd probably leave the dip out though.

Following... DH just announced a desire for NYE buffet rather than curry!

I also agree with adding something salady. I'd swap the potato salad for coleslaw (too many potato dishes i think?) Plus a simple mixed salad.

I'd serve big bunches of green and red grapes with the cheese.

Sounds lovely, enjoy x

Pasta or couscous, there's a lot of potato action there.

Ihopeyourcakeisshit · 27/12/2021 09:43

And definitely some kind of green/tomato salad.

Too much potato - no need for wedges & potato skins. You need greenery & fruit - salads, grapes, fruit salad?

Something veggie , maybe a quiche
