Another idea....What about a cold fruit soup? I have made this a few times: rec: Chilled Melon
Rec: Chilled Melon and Champagne Soup. You can sub seltzer of non-alcoholic champagne. Or - depending on your menu / theme, you can be inspired and we can come up with a fall fruit soup..... Just an idea.

2 cups green seedless grapes
2 cups pineapple chunks in juice

Cooked dressing:
3 egg yolks
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cider vinegar

Even a couple tablespoons would distress some Southern Baptist ladies
And other sects. You would be amazed...

This is delicious, more dessert than salad by today's standards . It wasn't Sunday dinner without
this on the table when I was growing up, at least in the winter time. It's from an old Betty Crocker cookbook and calls for canned white or bing cherries instead of grapes. My mom used white, I think they were Queen Anne or something like that. Everyone loved it.

Yes, but you know how that old joke goes, if one of them were there they would enjoy it but if there
was a group they would avoid it. Remember the one about taking Baptists fishing with a case of beer? If you take two Baptists you can have it all to yourself. If you take one, you have to share it.

Heck, if you're Episcopalian like I am the parish hall fridge is full of beer & wine
Coffee & doughnuts before the service...a drink after.

Ditto the Unitarians here. No drinks after the service that I see but plenty
at Wednesday night dinners and any other gathering.
