Healthy Holiday Potluck Ideas
Healthy Holiday Potluck Ideas
‘Tis the season:
to deck the halls,
spend time with those you love,
don your ugliest Christmas sweater,
(my own Dick van Dyke!)
shop it up
and enjoy festive feasts 🙂
I’m not sure about you, but our schedule is jam-packed until after New Year’s with holiday events! Many of them: bring a side dish or dessert.
Anyone else experiencing a pot-lucking overload?
What to bring?!
I always debate what I should bring to a holiday party. I’d like to make something semi-healthy, since I know I’ll be indulging in the treats and libations at the party, something festive/seasonal, and something that guests will enjoy and remember.
So, as I pick my brain, I thought I’d share a list of my favorite crowd-pleasing healthy potluck recipes and those I have yet to try, but have been scoping out.
Most of these healthy holiday recipes tend to be on the savory side since parties this time of year are heavy on the sweets.
I often think about this dip during conversations about the best comfort foods. It’s gluten free and dairy free, and one of our favorite vegan recipes to bring to parties.
Bring it in the slow cooker with tortilla chips or a crudités platter.
My Favorite Fall Salad
My favorite fall salad comes together in just minutes, and it’s loaded with flavorful and nutritious ingredients.
All you to make this crowd pleaser is greens, goat cheese, dried cranberries, candied pecans, and balsamic dressing. If you actually do need to feed a crowd, make a bunch, because it always disappears fast!
Ignore the haters. This side dish is proof that Brussels sprouts actually can be super tasty.
Swap baked sweet potatoes for acorn squash for an unexpected, ridiculously delicious vegetable side dish.
Simple, fresh ingredients like to tomatoes, basil, garlic, and olive oil make up this potluck recipe. Guests never fail to make this bite-sized appetizer disappear just as quickly as it came together.
Quick, On The Fly Healthy Dish Ideas
-Make hummus or white bean sundried tomato dip, then serve with fresh veggies or pita chips
-Goat cheese stuffed dates
-Boxed cake or brownie mix with homemade frosting, like this peppermint one or this peanut butter one
Are you pot-lucking like crazy this holiday season? What are you making?? Feel free to link away- it will be a great way to share ideas and inspiration with each other!
