Vegetarian party menu?

Question

I posted this under Entertaining an hour ago and it still hasn't posted : (

Appetizer: Large vegetarian antipasto tray with crostini type bread and a raw veggie platter with creamy veggie dip

Dinner: Bow tie Pasta in vodka sauce with julienned sun dried tomato's and sliced tomato and cucumber platter topped with chopped basil and balsamic vinaigrette.

Dessert: Fresh fruit Salad

I feel like I am missing one more dish. I need to keep this simple though and totally meat free. Should I add another appetizer? The less cooking..the better!

Answer 1

Everyone loves a taco dip :)

Cream cheese and light sour cream mixed together, then put salsa and cheese on top.

Do whatever you would like with it :)

Also, some nice tortilla chipsssssss

Answer 2

one of my favorite dishes at an italian restaurant is pasta in vodka sauce with sun dried tomatos, portabella mushrooms, garlic and basil.  it's DELICIOUS.

personally i prefer something chocolately (cake, cookies, brownies, chococolate dip for that fruit!) but what you have it good.

your menu looks good to me. and yes, garlic bread is a great addition.

Answer 3

I would maybe add another side. Steamed green beans or broccoli with lemon zest? Roasted asparagus?

Or, maybe some cookies to go with the fruit for dessert.

Answer 4

Soup!!  Try a cold soup recipe from Foodnetwork.com, but if you don't have time, I think your veggi party menu is ok as is, however the fresh fruit salad is a little boring... maybe you could add a choice for them to enjoy their fruit over a cake, pudding or yogurt.... That's what i would do.

Answer 5

What about thinly sliced tomatoes and fresh mozzerella, drizzled with olive oil, red wine vinegar, and pepper?

It's an Italian favorite in my (Italian) household.  : - )

Answer 6

I would maybe add another side. Steamed green beans
