What about beginning the meal with a hearty hot soup? Is it still cool enough where you are for that to be an appealing option?
One of my favorite soups, which has gotten a positive response from guests, is a spicy red lentil soup. http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/curried_red_lentil_soup.html
I use veg stock instead of chicken and replace the chutney with chopped fresh mango or peaches.
Or you could do a pareve split pea soup, or other legume-based soup to provide protein.
