I need to make 2 dishes for a teacher appreciation lunch this Friday. One salad and one savory. I am going to do Nance's pea and mint salad but need an idea for a savory dish that can be served at room temp as they will not be heated. I am still basking in the glory of the chocolate fountain and therefore don't have the resources for coming up with any good ideas. Anything?

Mary,

There is a nice recipe for roasted kale flaked coconut salad on Serious Eats that is excellent. It may be served alone or over cooked grains. Here is the link-http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2011/06/cook-the-book-kale-salad-with-toasted-coconut-recipe-kale-chips.html

Cheese tray? Olives? Salumi?

vegetarian sushi or rollups, sliced on the diagonal to make bite-sized pieces

Sadly no kale... I see about once year for a week or so in the middle of winter. I am not sure if I have ever eaten it...

Didn't someone here post a recipe for antipasti skewers??? I looked in my recipes and couldn't find it. Sushi is a good idea too.

Mary,
What about a savory crustless quiche? You could make it in a sheet pan and cut it into finger food portions. I have a recipe for a zucchini pie (at home) that I've used for similar occasions. Will send to you tonight if you're interested.

Frank,
I have tried that tart but the puff pastry I get is different and doesn't seem to do it justice. It is too thin and crispy. Great for other things but not the tart.
