Staff luncheon tomorrow and I need ideas-quick!

[ADisneygirl]

Tomorrow is a staff luncheon and I am drawing a blank on what to make. (everyone makes something to bring and share) I don't have much time now to prepare -- I will have to run out to the store tonight and make it. I was thinking of a big salad -- but what kind? Nothing too complicated. Anyone have a great salad they make for parties?

Any other ideas? Maybe a dessert?

My sister in law always makes great salads. She puts all sorts of greens in and then adds a couple of interesting things like dried cranberries (craisins) and goat cheese. Make a vinigrette to go on top.

Raspberries are nice in a salad too. Perhaps paired with bits of brie cheese.

Here's another thing I was thinking of:

Tortilla roll ups. I brought them to a girl's night out once and all the girls liked them.

There are couple of variations on this thread - http://disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1113916

How about adding in a can of mandarin oranges, sliced almonds, and red seedless grapes. If you want, you could also add in sliced grill chicken and crutons.

Thanks everyone!

I ended up making a salad with romaine, strawberries, slivered almonds and a strawberry vinagrette. Hopefully they like it! Off I go with it.

Your salad sounds yummy! I'm sure it will be a big hit.

Yea! It was all eaten, so I guess it was a hit. (or else everyone was just hungry!)

It was the last day of school with the kids today. It was an exhausting day!

Do you make your own strawberry dressing? If so, can you share?

Thanks.

Yes, I made it myself. In a blender I put a pint of strawberries(take leaves off and cut in half first), 1/2 a cup of olive oil, 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1tablespoon of honey, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and a grind of fresh pepper.
