Healthier recipes for a large group

My department does a birthday luncheon once a month to celebrate birthdays. You get assigned to a group and you have to do it once a year. This is my month and we decided on a healthy theme. Can anyone help me think of some good recipes that I can serve to a large amount of people (about 30 or 40) but there are lots of other things there!

Re: Healthier recipes for a large group

You can do wraps (lean meats, small amount of cheese.. different options inside like tomatoes, avocado, sprouts, etc.) and a big green salad with some fruit for dessert. I'd probably go for some chocolate dipped fruit for dessert.. because you need a LITTLE bad in your life!


Other options: Grilled Chicken, Mixed Grilled Veggies, Tabouleh salad, Fruit Salad?

Maybe a 'lighter' Tex/Mex theme? Vegetarian Chili, Turkey Tacos and Brown Rice served with Reduced Fat Cheese and tons of Veggie toppings - onions, scallions, cilantro, tomatoes, lettuce, fat free refried beans..?

Salsa Chicken:

Cooked chicken (perdue shortcuts, rotissary, leftovers)
Black beans
Corn (canned, frozen)
Salsa

You can serve it with rice, or in a tortilla w/ cheese.



I guess you can use canned chicken too if you like it - never tried it though
