the hunt for a salad

 i've been roped into contributing a salad to a luncheon next week.  i'm not super excited, i'm more anxious that whatever i contribute won't be good and no one will eat it and how embarrassing would THAT be.

so far these are my top choices - 

Thai Crunch salad that I've never made before

Autumn Apple salad that I have made before, for a potluck, and I know it's delicious, but I'm hesitant for some reason

Bean salad - also delicious, but maybe too weird for a lunch of people you don't really know?

 

 I feel like i could spend hours looking through books and saved recipes, but i just want to get the shopping done and come home and curl up under a blanket and read and maybe watch a show.

 this will also be the 4th dish in 2 weeks i've made for various non-family events.  the stress of finding recipes and making them and hoping everyone likes them has been ENOUGH.
