We have talked about this. No pasta salad.
A whole salmon, grilled or poached, can be a great centerpiece. You could complement it with boiled potatoes in butter and dill, a salad or two, and cabbage or roast broccoli.
Alternatively a nice ham or roast loin can be good. For a spanish theme get a jamon and make tortilla (spanish omelet), various tapas-y veggies and salads you could make ahead of time.
I like the salmon idea.
Why not pasta?
Pasta is OK. Pasta salad is not.

Meatballs in a crockpot
Fish is not everyone's favorite...i learned that with alot of leftovers unless you know your guests just love fish.

I love the traditional ham with angel biscuits. Plus ham is something most kids would eat too.
