What to serve with spinach and salmon salad at dinner party?



I’m going to have friends over, and would like to serve my spinach and salmon salad . It has tangy/salty/ asian flavors (ingredients below).

Should I serve this as the opening salad, and if so, what should I serve as a main dish?

Or, should I serve a big enough portion for it to be the main dish, and if so, what shall I serve as appetizer and side dishes?

Thanks for your help!

Salad ingredients:
Cooked salmon fillets
1 bag of spinach
½ ea. red and yellow bell pepper, chopped small

Dressing:
¼ C olive oil
1 T sesame oil
¼ C soy sauce
Juice of 1 lime
1/8 C balsamic vinegar
¼ teasp. Salt
1/8 teasp sugar

I typically wouldn’t serve a salad as a main meal unless it is lunch. Make it a first course (so it can shine on its own) and then serve a meat/starch for the main course.

sounds good. but you are missing the oppossum fat sammiches and deep fried earwax balls.

I love salad as a main course and this one sounds wonderful. I’d serve some hot appetizers, maybe egg rolls and wontons would work. Then, I’d serve a hearty bread with the salad and have a rich dessert.

This sounds delicious! I would serve this as a main course with either a soup ( maybe wonton or eggdrop) as a first course or maybe an appetizer in place of the soup. Maybe something like gyoza,fried wonton,eggrolls,satay with peanut sauce. or you can serve a mini combo of appetizers and assorted sauces.
It all depends on the effect your going for and the number of people you are serving. If in fact it is a big dinner party. You can do the soup,appetizers and dinner salad.
OR you can just start off with the salad and then as a main course serve rice and an asian inspired dish like Korean short ribs, Thai bbqed chicken, or just a stir fry.

May my husband and I come to your party? That salad sounds really WONDERFUL and it should be the ‘main dish’ … and with the weather getting warmer, it’s a ‘perfect dinner’ … you could serve it with some ‘lightly toasted’ slices off a ‘baguette’ (that’s the long, skinny ‘artisan bread’) that are ‘lightly brushed’ with butter or olive oil and some ginger and garlic. That’s it … dinner is DONE. For dessert, go with something just as ‘light and tasty’ … but also a ‘bit richer’ … say some fresh raspberries and blueberries topped with a whipped cream with some DARK chocolate curls on top and a ‘sprig’ of fresh spearmint or peppermint for ‘green’ at the side. And some ‘shortbread’ … either ‘plain’ or some with ‘dark chocolate’ bits cooked into it. YUM!

I think you should serve the salmon as a main course,and just make a spinach salad. You could do a seafood theme. If you want to make the salmon salad then make it . I had the best meal it was a lobster enchilada with cilantro sauce.. I think with the salmon it would go perfectly… It was at a Japanese fusion restaurant. here is the link…

DO THE SALAD AS THE MAIN DISH AND USE SOMETHING A LITTLE HEAVIER FOR THE APPETIZER MAYBE ASPARAGUS WRAPPED IN PORSHETA AND A QUISH.

depends on your friends’ gender and on how much they can eat. i’ld make the salad the main course but be sure i have heavier appetizers or richer desserts if my friends are bigger eaters… if they are small eaters, the salad and a dessert should be enough :D

enjoy your meal and have fun!!!

I would serve this as a main dish
Serve tomatoe bisque soup with croutons for an appetizer.
Follow it all up with Lemon Meriange Pie or a Lemon chiffon pudding.
