have been doing alot of Indian Fusion events lately
so came up with Indian Potato Salad

it's basically the infamous Indian Chaat called Bhel Puri

served it to 350 hungry college debate students along with a bunch of other interesting vegetarian and vegan choices

diced vidalia like onion (red works but I don't like the color in this case)
indian crispie bhel puri mix noodles(looks like rice krispies)

sinful spuds
baby fingerling or new potatoes made into cup

mixture of gorgonzola dolce or feta or goats cheese
currants
toasted pinenuts
green stuffed olives

enough potatoes (funny enough I am trying to be on a low carb diet - for various health issues)

as for fun names here are a few from the old days when I had to write daily specials

the marilyn monroe meets krushev quesadilla
fresh turkey breast with russian dressing served hot and grilled in quesadilla style

eurotrash quesadilla - fresh spinach, caramelized mushrooms, gruyere and caramelized onions griddled in a spinach tortilla

too tired to think any further.
