Dish Pan Hands

I am preparing for a graduation party in our backyard tomorrow. The menu is tasty and so pretty. I love the nice array of summer salads. The kitchen prep was washing, chopping, dicing, boiling, cooling, mixing and chilling.

I have in the refrigerator a feast fit for 30-35 hungry people. In order of preparation, we will have:

Baked Beans with Bacon and Brown Sugar
Potato Salad with egg, onion and celery
Spinach Pesto Pea Salad with shaved Parmesan and pine nuts
Greek Orzo Pasta Salad with artichoke hearts, Greek olives, feta cheese, garbanzo beans + more
Sweet Apple Cabbage Slaw
Rice Pasta Mediterranean Salad
2 Luscious Fruit Platters
Caprese Salad Platters
Grilled Chicken Kabobs with 3 sauces; teryaki, peanut satay, ranch

I will photograph the spread tomorrow and post the results. While it lasts...
