We were invited to a Father's Day BBQ last night and asked to bring something to share. We brought flavored mojitos, dessert and a dish to share.
It was funny because when we first arrived we saw a few bowls of pasta salad on the table and one woman commented. She said her friend had a BBQ once and asked friends to bring a salad or dessert. By the end of the night her friend was left with ten bowls of pasta salad. Wasn't that ridiculous?
Well, our hostess was also left with ten bowls of pasta salad last night. I am envisioning most of it being dumped in a trash can at midnight...
So, what is a good alternative? Try this!
Tea sandwiches:
16 slices of soft square sandwich bread
4 slices of prosciutto
cream cheese
herb cheese spread
4 smoked salmon slices
chives
Spread cream cheese on 4 slices of bread and add a slice of prosciutto to each. Spread herb cream cheese to 4 new slices of bread and top each with a slice of smoked salmon. Cover each sandwich with a new slice of bread. Cut your sandwiches into 4 triangles. Place the small sandwiches on a platter. Cut up chives and sprinkle them over your sandwiches as a garnish. You can also carefully lay 3 uncut strips of chives over the top for extra oomph!
These sandwiches were eaten up and enjoyed and definitely not weighing down my hostess' trash can at midnight!

I'd be scarfing the pasta down at midnight. That's the perfect late night food!
