Largest deserts Hills in the Judean desert

A desert is a landscape or region that receives an extremely low amount of precipitation, less than enough to support growth of most plants. Deserts are defined as areas with an average annual precipitation of less than 250 millimetres (10 in) per year, or as areas where more water is lost by evapotranspiration than falls as precipitation. In the Köppen climate classification system, deserts are classed as BWh (hot desert) or BWk (temperate desert). In the Thornthwaite climate classification system, deserts would be classified as arid megathermal climates.

I have a desert but now I need an appetizer for my chicken scallopini?
Q. If you ever read my last question..It said a friend and me are going to put together a nice elegant dinner for my family and a few friends. We are going to cook a chicken scallopini. We will have a caramel cake for desert. But now I would like a recipe for a nice appetizer, because the last appetizers that were recomended for me were not appropriate for my party. It is a quiet nice party and everyone is wearing white. Oh and what type of wine should a serve?
