Get 2 pounds of holey-smelly swiss cheese and a jar of brown mustard and a box of toothpicks.

Get a big plate and a small bowl - put the small bowl on the plate.

Cube the cheese into 1/2 inch cubes, stick a toothpick in each one, arrange them around the plate.

Put a good portion of the mustard in the bowl.

Watch it vanish,,, :drinker:

I make a pasta salad that's easy and tasty: Boil and drain corkscrew pasta or whatever type you chose, add Wishbone Lite Italian dressing to coat (or your dressing of preference). Add chopped green pepper, onion, black olives, broccoli, thinly sliced carrots -whatever else you'd like to add. Then I add grated fresh parmesan. It's very tasty and easy! I've also added chopped low-fat pepperoni for added flavor. If you let it sit til the next day the flavors get incorporated but may need to add a bit more dressing the next day to moisten the noodles.

Ok I’m probably too late, you’re getting ready to enjoy lunch really soon but for the future, I stick to Caesar salads for pot-lucks.

I already have the dressing, crotons are cheap, I don’t bring bacon for the vegetarians so the entire thing costs me about $2.00. I use Presidents Choice Blue Menu Dressing (that’s their low-fat line) and everyone has really commented on the dressing. They found they didn’t notice I did not specifically add Parmesan to the salad.
