Want to accommodate all your friends, family, peers or clients? Discover a diverse array of flavorful, seasoned food with a plant-based menu. The meals and sides provide a delicious option for guests with health considerations or dietary restrictions. 

Plant-Based Meal Ideas for Gatherings

Wondering how you can create a colorful display of fresh, healthy ingredients? The possibilities are endless with fruits and veggies. Explore a list of delicious and filling foods to provide at your next party.

Soups and Salads

Nothing feels more comforting than a steaming, hot cup of soup. Let your guests choose options such as vegetable soup or tomato bisque. Broccoli cheddar offers a delightful option for non-vegan friends and family.

Pair the soup with build-your-own salads. Have a wide assortment of ingredients to choose from, including lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion and croutons. Provide crowd-pleasing favorites, such as house vinaigrette or homemade ranch.

Sandwiches and Wraps

Everyone loves a good sandwich — so why not get them for your next event or special occasion? Provide several types of bread with gluten-free options to accommodate everyone’s preferences. You can choose fresh ingredients such as lettuce, spinach, tomato, cucumber, carrots and avocado. Offer a selection of cheeses such as provolone or cheddar for non-vegans. 

As an alternative, consider getting plant-based wraps. A grilled vegetable wrap tastes light and refreshing with hummus and balsamic vinaigrette. Additionally, you can satisfy cravings with hummus, roasted peppers, tomato, cucumber and baby spinach wrapped in whole wheat tortillas. 

Sides and Desserts

Sides are essential for every meal. When it comes to plant-based sides, you can explore some creative ways to serve vegetables. They’re nutritious whether they’re steamed, sauteed, marinated, glazed, grilled or roasted. Consider a vegetable medley or a vegetable pasta salad to pair with your main dishes.

Don’t forget the desserts! Fresh cubed fruit always works well as a healthy treat. If you’re hosting a brunch, consider serving fruit muffins, scones or yogurt parfaits. At other times of the day, choose options such as fresh cubed fruit, lemon bars, banana pudding or strawberry shortcakes. Having smaller portions can provide a way for guests to enjoy several sweets and discover their favorite.
