>I took one point off for challenge goals as I personally feel like it's a bit too much to be taking out, even for a picnic.

You're absolutely right, if you were to make only one or two of them at a time, the work load seems a bit much. However as you add more portions, each additional portion you plate is done quicker.
When I thought up this meal, I had a rather large picnic in mind, with upwards of 15 or 20 people to serve. This dish was designed to be done in a line style manner - to line up a row of empty plates and churn out lots of them quickly and freshly.
For anyone that hasn't a clue what line cooking is, consider the pear salad: Get a massive bowl, throw a load of the three ingredients in (the rocket leaves, wasabi peas and pear, the mandoline slices the pear in seconds), add enough dressing to the mix and toss the whole lot wildly. Then head over to a row of plates and place a fistful of the completed salad to the side of each one, spending only 2 seconds at each plate.
Placing a wedge of pre-cut quiche on each plate would also take about 2 seconds each. The prawns would take a little longer, depending on how well you want to present it.

But if it's a really small picnic for a couple of people, I still agree with what you said.

This is looking great! Looking forward to the completed dish.
