some ideas for wedding menu of cold meats and salads?

Question

we are getting married in summer and want a menu of cold meats and salads. how can we jazz it up or present

Answer 1

at our wedding party we had Buddigs beef with cream cheese spread over it and rolled up with a green onion/chive sliver in it!
they looked really nice and hardly cost a thing.

salad with spinach leaves and presuto ham (SP) and dif color (orange, red, green) peppers diced and black olives... makes a pretty salad.
serve with vinegar and olive oil, salt and pepper

good luck on that special day!

Answer 2

What a great idea!~ Here are some thoughts:

1. Cold baked glazed ham with a variety of mustards and artisan breads. Add a peach chutney and its great! Serve with miniature orange muffins and butter.
2. Roast beef, carved to order, with horseradish sauce and hot sweet mustard. Add a drizzle of cabernet cherry sauce and its a great combo on rolls!
3. Spinach salad with mandarin oranges, bacon, candied pecans and a balsamic vinagrette
4. Pasta salad with sundried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, olives, and Cheese Fantastico Dressing.
5. Shrimp salad on individual romaine leaves
6. Rice salad made with Rice-A-Roni, mayonaise, curry, sliced green olives and celery....decadent.
7. Cheeses are a must....include Spanish Manchenga, Cambozola, Irish Cheddar, and a nice Havarti....along with fresh artisan breads and assorted crackers.
8. Fresh fruit platters with pineapple spears, kiwi, star fruit, strawberries, raspberries, melon and a honey-yogurt sauce.

Yum! Congrats!

Answer 3

Have cold freshly cooked meats at hand, to be carved and served by the caterers or friends.
A leg of lamb and pork with an assortment of sauces and chutneys the guests can select for themselves.
