light lunch ideas???

[cats7494]

Any ideas for a very simple light lunch idea for about 6 people? I have to cook a huge dinner in the evening and won't have much time for prep. I am looking for easy ideas!
thanks!

Deli roll ups, and a fruit platter.

Quesadillas.

You can buy the perdue short cuts and chop them up or you can precook some chicken. I would also pre cut up anything else (onions/tomatoes/etc). Throw in some shredded cheese, heat in the oven for about 10 minutes, serve with some sour cream and you are good to go.

I would set out a few different kinds of bread, good deli sliced meats, cheeses, and sandwich fixings along with some paper plates, fruit, chips and Christmas cookies and let everyone help themselves.

I find that even though it's typical lunch fare, people enjoy having more choices than they would normally have in their fridge. Better breads, more stuff available to put on it, etc. If it weren't the holidays I'd probably make a salad, like brocolli salad, bean and corn salad or something like that to have out with the sandwich stuff, but with so much food around at the holidays I'd stick to really simple!

Quiche and a nice salad.

I swear I answered this thread earlier, but my responses are not here, so...

Mini muffelettas: Use a pkg of the Kings Hawaiian butter rolls, slice in half, remove tops. Layer ham, genoa salami, provolone cheese and olive salad mix (drained). Replace tops. Cover with foil and bake until warmed.

Anything rolled in crescent roll dough: pre-cooked chicken with bbq sauce, add some cheese, roll up the dough and bake according to pkg instructions. You could also use ham with dijon mustard and swiss cheese.

Chicken salad in a cut open tomatoe. I'm sure there is a real name for it...
Chicken stuffed 'maters?
Its fast, easy and good. People think you cooked and fussed when it was really pretty simple.
