A Summer Luncheon

On a very non Summer like June day.
About 40 people, for the most part all Retired Episcopal clergy and spouses.
The Caterers Assistant and the Johns



Grilled Chicken and Grilled Vegetable Salad.
This was very yummy. Your basic Chicken Salad, but with Grilled Chicken and grilled summer squash, zucchini, carrots and Vidalia onions. Gave the whole salad a nice smokey grilled taste.
Winder-Barrow Rice and Artichoke Salad.
You would have thought this was the best thing these people had ever had. X1 makes a bunch, and I made it x4!

1 pkg Chicken Rice a Roni
2 (6 0z) jars marinated artichoke hearts ( chopped ) drain and save marinade
1/3 cup mayonnaise
_ tsp curry
2 green onions chopped
1 green pepper chopped
1 small can sliced black olives (drained)
1 can water chestnuts ( chopped)
Cook rice a roni according to instructions on box.
Mix artichoke marinade, mayonnaise and curry. Add rice,artichoke hearts,onions,peppers, olives and water chestnuts.
Cool in frig.

The only thing I changed was add some onions and carrots to the pan and saute a little before adding the rice, and a little turmeric for color.
Haricot Vert with Heirloom tomatoes and caramelized garlic. VERY GOOD!
Fruit in a rabbit bowl.
