I’ve been wanting to do this for a while and it’s happening this Saturday. A paella party at my house for about 30 people. Here’s what’s on the menu…
Olives
Marcona Almonds
Assorted cheeses
Membrillo
Serrano Ham
Roasted peppers with sherry vinaigrette
Baguettes/crackers
Garlic shrimp
Tortilla Espanola
Empanadas
Paella Valenciana
Sangria plus other assorted drinks
Here’s my question…
I was planning to serve a salad on the side when the paella is served. Something perhaps like one of these:
Guacamole Salad - I love this but feeling like it’s not right with the paella.
Boston Lettuce Avocado Salad
Tomato, Onion, Cucumber Salad
Any thoughts on the salad? Yes? No? Any suggestions for a different one?
And any thoughts on dessert? Yes, I know there is flan. But anything else? Might have to just skip the Spanish theme for desserts and serve some assorted cookies and bars or pies.
Thanks!
