SOUTHERN LADIES LUNCH

   
Southern Ladies Lunch

SOUTHERN LADIES LUNCH is a cool respite from the noonday heat, or can easily be  your favorite Bridal/Baby shower menu.

This delightful and tasty, light lunch consists of Chicken Salad Tea Sandwiches, freshly cut cucumber slices, and an assortment of favorite relishes. Cucumber Tzatziki is spread on mini olive oil toasted baguette slices, and garnished with luscious red and green Summer Grapes.

Served on silver platters

with an antique lace table topper.

 ( You know, one of those
beautiful pieces you inherited

from your grandmother,
or bought at a great estate sale!)

This is always a special,
but easy to prepare luncheon for a

Bridal or Baby shower.

Simply purchase the chicken salad and tzatziki'
from your local grocer's deli for a quick, fresh compromise if you don't have time to make these yummy treats from scratch.

Pull out those beloved antique silver canape' knives
(don't you just love shopping for antiques!?)
 and your prettiest luncheon plates
for a beautiful presentation.


Don't forget to use your vintage linen and lace
or monogrammed luncheon napkins.
Caspari also makes some beautiful paper napkins.
I always keep an assortment of
Luncheon and Cocktail Napkins
 on hand for quick use...so handy!

Your guests will ooh and aah! over your
simple, but impressive, yummy lunch!
ENJOY!
(And take pictures!)
Blessings,
Margie
