Another starter dish for casual dinner?

[Raera]

Ideas please for just 6 of us. Guests have requested chicken liver and smoked mackerel pates. What lighter possibly salad dish could I do alongside?
Beef in barolo is main course
Thanks x

Citrus salad with mint?

It would pair well I think - it would brighten the chicken liver and do well with the smoked oily fish.

Can I come?

I agree with a simple dressed salad.
I’d also make Melba toast.

Do you need a salad in addition to the entrees? Sounds yum, Can I have your chicken liver recipe?

Celeriac remoulade- I've also added capers which would go well with the mackerel. https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/quick-celeriac-remoulade

Thanks all!
I might do this as I have all the ingredients apart from an orange

With regards toast, one of my guests is bringing lovely homemade Irish soda bread.

My chicken liver pate is something I do without a recipe really!
Remove tubey bits from 800g livers then soak in cold milk for an hour or two.
Slowly cook 2 large sliced onions in plenty of butter and a little olive oil for 30 mins or so until soft, sweet and not browned.
Rinse the livers and dry on kitchen paper, add to onions along with 3 chopped garlic cloves.
Cook for 6-8 mins until cooked through and only slightly pink in the middle then tip into a food processor.
Deglaze the pan with a good slug of brandy and about 150mls double cream then add to livers with plenty of salt and pepper.
Whizz until smooth and put in freezer trays or ramekins.
Eat within 3 days or so from fresh or freeze.

Thanks so much for the recipe. Its something I've been meaning to make but never got around to 😋

Orange beetroot spinach and feta went really well with my rich pates.
Thanks 🙏
Lovely romantic valentine dinner for six very good friends
