recipe suggestions?

[gilana]

I need to make a few dairy-based meals I can prepare ahead of time and eat cold on Sunday and Monday during the holiday of Shavuot.  Anyone have any good recipes?  None of my usual ones are sounding too appealing right now.  Might do a pasta salad of some sort, I suppose, and maybe a gazpacho if I find a good recipe, but I'd love more ideas!  (Fish

What are the ones that aren't sounding good?

Kugel (my default is a sweet cheese version). Quiche -- spinach, mushrooms, onions, and cheddar? Peanut or sesame noodles. Spanakopita. Apple pie.

Well, I sometimes make a quiche for this holiday, but I haven't had a lot of luck with them coming out well -- they're often a little watery. Sesame noodles could be good, though, thanks!

For quiche with moist veggies in the filling (mushrooms and spinach being two culprits), I find that pre-cooking the veggies until they stop giving up liquid helps a lot in producing a non-watery quiche.

(Edited for grammar failure.)

How about something with Israeli couscous, Caesar salad or a cold salmon with fruit salsa (mango? kiwi)

Wow, that sounds delicious, thanks!

Is it too early for Watermelon & Feta salad?

Similar to a quiche but firmer and without a crust, I really liked this recipe: cauliflower and parmesan cake. It was delicious cold.

I'd imagine you can find kosher parmesan-like cheese.

A word of warning: there didn't seem to be enough batter to engulf the cauliflower the way I'd expected, either of the two/three times I've made this. But it didn't matter in the end.

Ooo, that sounds really good. I should have known to check out Smitten Kitchen. And I eat non-kosher cheese, so that's easy enough. Thanks!
