I made tiny little chicken salad sandwiches made with red grapes, toasted almonds, dill and poppyseeds. Everyone liked the chicken salad. I served grapes and angelfood cake for dessert. I made a fruit punch and Crystal Light Appletini.

I have had success with little cream puffs filled with chicken salad (try making chicken salad with a roasted chicken from the market yumm) also little cucumber sandwiches made with the small deli rye loaf the approx. 2X2 inch pieces topped with a thin sliced cucumber (cut the cuke skin with little "Vs" for decoration) use a dill spread. These are an open faced sandwich. Have a nice veggie try and put the dips in big Red, Yellow, Green cored sweet peppers, cut a little off the bottom so the pepper sits upright without tipping. Hope you have a good time, these are fun.

I did crab mornay served over/in puff pastry shells and a fruit salad for a luncheon, with a choice of pies for dessert. It was a hit--but the crab mornay is a bit expensive if you are having to make enough for a large group.
