Cold

I first came across this unusual oriental mango and beef salad in a restaurant which served a mixture of eastern cuisines in Murcia, Spain. It is delicious to eat and very simple to prepare.

Excellent for a buffet appetizer are the nostalgic deviled eggs . This classic recipe is great for family gatherings but you can vary it by adding chili powder, chopped chives or crispy bacon bits if you wish.

Also great for parties is the easy and popular guacamole .

For something more traditional, you can always rely on prawn cocktail that can be prepared in a flash. You can also substitute the prawns with squid rings, mussels, or a mixture of seafoods.

A salad that does well for buffet parties and can be prepared beforehand is the seven layer salad . A large glass bowl with more or less vertical sides would be perfect for serving this. You can also vary the ingredients to suit your taste.
