French vegetarian?

Question

We're inviting some people over to our new apartment over the weekend and I am cooking a potato au gratin as the entree and we will have crackers and cheese with some french wine as appetisers.. I also want to add a salad, but cannot think of a French salad (we're vegetarian, which means no egg as well). Can anyone suggest a nice easy to make french salad? for dessert am thinking chocolate mousse or chocolate mousse ice cream... any suggestions?

Answer 1

greens with apples and cashews topped off with an olive oil/sugar dressing (or rasberry vinagrette)

What time should I come over ;=)

Answer 2

My suggestion is to serve them something other than French food.  Why would you cook them something they can get at home?

Answer 3

If you're veggies and won't eat eggs, how can you eat ice cream?  

Just asking...

Answer 4

Maybe a nice lentil salad made with those little green french lentils, a little french feta, diced cucumber, onion, tomato, black olives, herbs, garlic, olive oil and lemon juice.  It will give you some protein as well.  Serve it on a bed of baby greens.
