1. Vegan nachos with a smokey kick
This vibrant tray of vegetarian nachos with black beans, red peppers and a fresh tomato salsa will be a hit with all of your visitors. The folate, fibre, and vitamin C in this meal are abundant, and the flavour and crunch in every mouthful are delightful.
2. Turkey cobb salad in a serving bowl
When was it ever claimed that salad had to be dull? Our soft-set eggs, crisp pancetta, lean turkey breast, avocados, tomatoes, and crunchy chicory are all piled high on this party plate. Served with a tangy, mustardy sauce, this dish is ready in minutes. Everybody will want to try this salad if it is served on a buffet.
3. Pan puris are a kind of Indian bread
Served as a party snack, this dish for Indian-style street cuisine is a delicious option. Bread is crisped up and stuffed with spicy chickpeas and potato, then drizzled with herb water to finish it off. Serve the ingredients in a variety of bowls and let your guests make their own dishes.
4. Dips and crudités in a rainbow of colours for the winter season
Use this stunning mix of creamy dips to serve with crisp baby carrots, cucumber slices, and other vegetables to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables. The party attendees will have lots of alternatives to select from, including a creamy butternut squash hummus, caramelised onion & chive dip, and miso beetroot dip with cashew butter, among other things.
5. Bites of curry fishcake
These spicy fish cakes are a great compliment to any canapé selection since they are healthy, low-fat, and low in calories. They are served on cocktail sticks, which makes them easy to consume. Make one batch of fishcakes and serve half of them with mango and cucumber and the other half with tomato and coriander, so that visitors may select their favourite or sample one of each of the two combinations.
6. Mexican-style pulled chicken with black beans
You want to provide a high-quality meal for your guests without going broke. This low-cost sharing platter may be precisely what you've been looking for! In order to keep expenses low, bone-in chicken thighs are bulked up with canned black and kidney beans, and chipotle paste gives lots of flavour when you're in a hurry. Add texture to the dish by serving it with tortilla chips and lime wedges for added flavour.
7. Tartines with beetroot and rye
When served on a plate, these ingenious open sandwiches look stunning and make the ideal finger food for a party. Using three-grain bread as a basis for pastrami and gherkins or mackerel and red onion toppings makes for a full and fiber-rich sandwich. The modest calorie count belies the intense flavour that is packed into each bite.
8. Grilled vegetable rice with a smoky flavour
It's a vegan version of the traditional jambalaya, and it's loaded with healthful veggies like sweetcorn, carrots, peppers, and tomatoes to make it even more filling. Even though it is nutritious and low in fat and calories, the dish is packed with flavour.
9. Cocktail eggs with a stuffing of your choice
You'll be healthier and have more time with these high-protein snacks. Start with making a batch of filled eggs and then adding salmon and dill, or a chorizo crumb, to finish it. Preparation time may be extended by up to a day, and they can be stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve. This gives you more time to crack open the bubbly.
10. Kisir
With flavours of cumin, chilli, and mint, as well as crunchiness from walnuts and sweetness from pomegranate seeds, this colourful grain salad will be a welcomed addition to any buffet table. It is also very nutritious and vegan.
