For a birthday party I am serving Chicken Salad on croissants, what should I serve with it instead of chips? I would like it to be more elegant than chips.
The chicken salad is made with chicken, of course, herb cream cheese, mayo, dried cranberries, green onions, sliced water chestnuts, lemon pepper, hard boiled eggs. Think that is about it from my memory!

red grapes are an excellent compliment to chicken salad. I would also serve either baby carrots, or carrot chips with a dip. Have a wonderful party and I agree.....chips suck when you're trying to show a little class. Let us know what you decide. :)

What Goes With Chicken Salad

Sounds yummy! You can get away with another salad along side it, perhaps a baby spinach salad with pears, gorgonzola, and candied walnuts with a vinegrette? Or take butter lettuce, roasted cashews, bean sprouts, feta, and a dijon vinegrette to make a nice salad. If you want to do something like chips, though, have you ever considered making your own? Sweet potatoe chips are very "in" right now. But, you can also do the same with yukon gold potatoes, just remember to put them in cold water so that they don't turn brown. Slice potatoes on your grater that produces large, thin sliced pieces. Or use a mandolin. Soak in salted water and then fry. Salt generously and sprinkle with minced garlic and parmesan for a yummy alternative. You might also bypass the starch and salad and try a fresh fruit plate with melon, pineapple, strawberries and blueberries to add color. Dress with plain yogurt mixed with brown sugar and vanilla. Have fun!

You could start with soup - French Onion. A side could be mixed fresh fruit served in a martini glass - made up of cantaloupe, honeydew, watermelon, grapes -- or:.
Little Frozen Fruit Salads
1 8-oz package softened cream cheese
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups sour cream
1 pint blueberries
2 cups chopped peaches
1 cup seedless grapes
1/4 cup chopped maraschino cherries or strawberries
pineapple rings
lettuce
sour cream
maraschino cherries
Beat cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice, salt, and sour cream. Stir in blueberries, peaches, grapes, and chopped cherries.
Place paper liners in 16 muffin tins, fill with mixture, and freeze. Remove salad from freezer about 15 minutes before serving. Peel liners and allow salad to soften slightly. Place each salad on a pineapple ring resting on a bed of lettuce. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream and top with a maraschino cherry or strawberry.
For dessert:

I'd go with something simple such as grated cheese over canned pineapple slices or peach halves. To get a bit fancier diced pecans could be added, though I probably wouldn't. And I'm leaving here now to go see if I can find your recipe online. Sounds tasty.

mmmm, sounds yummy, wish I was there too.
what comes to mind is a dip that my sister makes
You use a cup of everything, and it sounds strange but it is awesome and rare to have any left!!!
1 cup each of
chopped pecans,
grated cheddar
chopped green onion
mayo
Mix together thoroughly
Shape into a mound on your serving plate, making a large shallow indentation on top.
Using a jar of strawberry preserves or jam, completely cover the mound of dip
Serve w/ritz or captain's wafer crackers
the salty, sweet, creamy, crunchy really tastes awesome!

When I did this very thing we had a cluster of green/red grapes and a twisted slice of an orange, dusted with a sprinkle of powder sugar.
We served a choice of brownies or lemon bars for dessert. Of course, I assume, you will enjoy a birthday cake!
I might like your recipe...sounds similar, but mine doesn't call for hard cooked eggs. Can you post it or email it to me, please? Have fun!
