A chef's salad has just about everything in it to be light, yet filling. Make sure you have a couple of different dressings to put on it, and maybe a light dressing, in case they're watching their diet. Make iced tea, and let them add sugar, or not. And maybe a little vanilla ice cream for dessert. Sounds good, huh? Hope you have a great visit. <*)))><

You can make a spinach salad with warm bacon dressing or a chicken salad with greens or a chicken salad on a bun or roll.
Serve with ice tea or lemonade. You could also spice it up with a nice glass of white wine but be health conscious.
