It's for a pot luck lunch at the office so I won't be able to serve it warm, unless I microwave it, which is a pain. Ham can be served cold, but someone else is already bring ham.

Another idea rather than serving cold food is to serve something warm and keep it that way in a crockpot set on wam. I have done that before for office pot lucks and it works well. Or you could contribute finger sandwiches if it needs to be an entree type dish. ALSO you could opt for bringing a side dish. There are alot of possibilites for sides or desserts that do not need to be warm.

Holiday foods often encompass special dishes and rich ingredients that you don't normally have. With that in mind I would recommend liver pate or mousse. Maybe even an assortment of different kinds of pates with an equally versatile assortment of crackers and raw vegetables for spreading the pate on.
If you're not opposed to raw ingredients tuna tartare would be nice.
Or maybe a ceviche of seafood. Ceviche is raw seafood marinated in citrus juice. The acid "cooks" the fish and then it's served cold.

French potato salad:
6 yukon gold potatoes
1 shallot
1 pound cooked sausage
Fresh parsley - chopped
Olive oil
White wine vinegar
Mustard
Pepper to taste
Cook sausage, cut into slices. Cook potatoes, cut into slices
Chop parsley and then chop shallot.
Combine olive oil white wine vinegar and mustard. Combine with parsley and shallot. Poor over potatoes and sausage. Pepper to taste.
This is also good with cooked cut up green beans. It can be served hot, warm, or room temperature.
My husband doesn't like the taste of white wine vinegar so I usually only use about a teaspoon. Normally for a 1/2 cup of olive oil, use 1/2 tablespoon of white wine vinegar.

I always serve a whole filet mignon, tie it so it keeps its shape and roast it rare the day before. Let cool and refrigerate wrapped in foil overnight. The next day, unwrap, remove the string and slice it thin and serve with a nice mustard or horseradish sauce. Very popular and elegant!

In the superstore, fruits are usually picked out far too soon. Some are rocks, many are bad. Some of the fruit and vegetables are right (zucchini, onions, garlic, lettuce, greens, and a few others) so I'd have to go with vegetables.

Smoked salmon and crackers is good, or pate and crackers. Yum...
Then again, you can always buy a pre-made cake or cookies.
