I've cooked for a lot of people in my life. The only effective way of serving hoards is the barbecue. The salad to start was just a simple mixed greens (add arugula) with a balsamic vinaigrette. I quickly grilled some swordfish and steak because my guests were pestering me for protein. But the real star is the vegetable sandwich. It has all the non-leafy veges you really need in this world (zucchini, mushroom and peppers). What makes it pop is the mozzarella, pesto and yogurt. The chicken, apparently, was quite juicy too, albeit from Costco.
