Try and select a recipe that has as many whole foods in it as possible. In other words, nothing processed-Pillsbury crusts for example. Check out the "Spin on Salads" cookbook. I was just looking at the Georgia Peach and Chicken salad. You can serve it with cornbread, but again, maybe from scratch ahead of time just to avoid anything added to mixes or store bought. I'm sure your host can guide you.
