Hi I'm going to a Xmas lunch with only 3 people there. I need something easy to make (that won't fail). Almost certain desserts & Xmas cake are already done. Ideas pleases.

Thank you

My friend always does a platter and it is a big hit - keep it smaller with only 3 people, say two different cheeses, some gherkins, olives, pickled onions, handful of dried apricots, figs, fresh strawberries, chocolate scorched almonds etc. Perhaps a hummus type dip and scatter around some different size crackers - have fun.

I agree with above. A platter of cheese and crackers and fruit. Maybe a dip or two? Don't make too much if there is a small crowd,

strawberry santas are also a hit and so easy to make, they look gorgeous too

May I ask if this is actually a lunch or just a nibbles thing. It seems, from the suggestions that it is nibbles and finger food rather than a lunch.

If it was a proper meal I'd probably do something like marinated mushrooms, coleslaw, cold meat of some sort such as ham/chicken/beef or stuffed eggs and some fresh bread rolls with butter and margarine. Or conversely maybe, if salmon was on special I'd bake a smallish (as there are only 3 people) salmon piece and do a nice presentation of that with tomato quarters, chunks of cucumber, radish, capsicum, etc.

Last week, I had to take a savoury plate for lunch nibbles. I purchased 10 slices of salami, and then found a jar of baby gerkins. put one in each peice of salami, boy they dissappeared real fast.oh. put a toothpick to hold
