light lunch menu ideas?
We are having family at our house on Sunday to celebrate Christmas. Most people are arriving before noon. We're having a big pasta dinner in the evening. However, since most guests will be arriving before lunch time, they won't want to wait until the evening meal to eat. I don't want lunch to be anything too heavy since dinner will be a big, filling meal. I also need vegetarian-friendly choices for this group.
Vegetarian soup (minestrone?) with a meat/cheese tray to make sandwiches and some veggies & dip?
Pasta salad and sandwiches?
Any menu suggestions or feedback?

Re: light lunch menu ideas?
antipasta "Stuff" so different olives, peppers, marinated veggies (some you do yourself like eggplant and some you buy like artichokes and red peppers), different cheeses, crackers, bread point, some meat like proscuitto, pepperoni, salami...you can be pretty elaborate with all this and have plenty of things that people can munch on...
Maybe a spinach artichoke dip in the crockpot
or meatball in the crockpot and litte rolls so people can make a little hoagie
This time of year I like soup and sandwiches. I would have a salad or a simple veg tray. I would say tortellini soup, but not with pasta that night. You could do a vegetable soup and a chili. Either one could be made the day before and reheated that day (I think it tastes better that way anyway).
ETA: Don't do a pasta salad if you are having pasta that night. You could set up a salad bar- lettuce, spinach, carrots, cucumber, garbanzo beans, cheese, croutons, whatever.
I'd also get some apples, clementines, and bananas. No mess of a big fruit salad, but easy enough for people to eat.
Quiche, tossed salad, fruit salad, small assorted sandwiches
