A vegetable napoleon makes a beautiful presentation plated. There are lots of recipes and photos if you do a search online. Here's one plated very nicely: http://www.flickr.com/photos/a.....6762/

Cold soups - I make honeydew soup, cantalope soup, strawberry soup (although this takes lots of t ime becuase you end up cheecking tons of strawberries), gazpacho, vicchysoise...always a hit

Also, sometimes I make regular salad but put some good deli in it - I dress it and then platter individually.

There's a Nish Nosh salad recipe on here that's really good, just search for it. I make it and it's always a hit.

I like the cold soup idea. I started making this delicious fruit soup with cherries, blueberries, nectarines or peaches, and grapes.

you can also serve a small salad in an eggroll wrapper "bowl" I ve made this b4, just spray with pam sprinkle some onion or garlic powder, hang them over cans or something wider if you have and backe for maybe 5 minutes, then you fill them with salad when you serve. just make sure to make a few extras bc they are very delicate and may crack when you handle them

Individual quiches!

For the crust, use a roll of puff pastry, cut into squares, roll thin and put into muffin tins (the jumbo-size muffin tins work best). Fill with your favorite quiche filling. (we serve milchiks, so I do eggs, spinach, grated yellow cheese, cream/milk and seasonings)

In the KBD short on time there's a recipe for individual spinach salami quiches. I've made them a few times- always a hit! Also, in all the KBD cookbooks there's a whole section of appetizers, a lot of which don't involve fish.

Thanks for all the great suggestions! In the end I went online (as usual) and found this recipe for angel hair pasta salad which sounded yummy, so I made that this week-

but I certainly have some great ideas for the future.
Good Shabbos everyone!

Grilled chicken or meat salad

We almost never eat fish so I love having fun with appetizers.
I'm drawing a blank on the other stuff that I make.

Will you share the recipe for chicken wan tons? It sounds so yum!

In the summer I also love cold soups - carrot and mint is my current favourite.
Melon balls with a mint vinaigrette (6 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp vinegar, 2 tbsp finely chopped mint, 1 tsp honey, whisk it all together with a stick blender) - can be served in individual bowls or wine glasses. It looks lovely with different colour melons.
Pesto stuffed mushrooms
Individual pesto and tomato tarts
Chicken wings - always a hit
Individually plated chicken basil salad or other chicken salads.

I actually just served this salad on Succos and made eggroll wrapper bowls to serve it in. Was a huge hit! I also rarely make fish as an appetizer as it never goes over well. I'll usually make avocado eggrolls, chicken salad, sushi salad, and those KBD chicken wontons
