Lunch with friends - veggie ideas

[Petitewinter]

We are vegetarian, and would like to have friends over for lunch. I need some ideas on what to serve that will be lovely for everyone. Thanks.

If it's hot where you are, I would personally like a foccaccia sandwich of mozzarella, basil and good tomatoes, a rocket salad with a sharp vinaigrette, some good cheese and a rhubarb tart. Or Greek salad with good bread, cheese and a chocolate mousse. Or gazpacho, cold spanakopita and raspberries and cream.

My favourite lunch is a budha bowl type meal in a pasta bowl made up of homemade pasta salad.and/or potato salad, hummus, falafels, guacamole, feta, olives, lined with mixed leaves, sprinkled with sunflower seeds and pomegranate seeds.

i guess it's a fusion of Mediterranean, middle Eastern and British BBQ 😂

We’re veggie too. My go-to used to be lasagne and salad, but since discovering this I’ve made it quite a bit and it seems quite popular https://realfood.tesco.com/recipes/baked-mediterranean-orzo.html

If it’s a lighter lunch or I need to have everything prepared, I’d do spanakopita or a quiche with salad and new potatoes. My favourite quiche recipe is this: https://www.thelastfoodblog.com/courgette-quiche-with-tomato/
