party dish

[Lcw29]

I've organised a surprise party for my parents 45th anniversary. Does anyone have ideas on a party dish that people can help themselves to? I've got some sandwiches and salad but want something else to that's a bit different but filling.

Caprese pasta salad www.foodiecrush.com/caprese-pasta-salad/

Something tart like? Either a sheet of puff pastry topped with roasted veg and Parmesan, a fritata or a quiche?
Or cook and slice a piece of meat - beef/gammon/chicken or a side of salmon.

Sausage rolls
These are good if you're making them yourself

Couscous salad

Hummus with pitta bread/carrot sticks/cucumber sticks

If you can decide whether you're doing finger food or fork food that will help narrow the options. With a big group I'd favour finger food, especially if people might have to eat without being sat at a table.

For a recent party I did antipasti skewers - baby tomato, mini mozzarella ball and olive on a mini skewer. Or you could do variations with e.g. salami. Quick, easy and high impact.

Something warm maybe like a pizza, a chilli, or paella, a quiche/pie etc
