Additionally, many faiths and cultures maintain a diet that is free of meat and meat by-products.

Many people eat a mostly-vegetarian diet and don\u2019t even realize it! So, if you are planning a party or event for vegetarians, don\u2019t feel limited or intimidated by the job. You can look forward to creating a custom vegetarian menu from an array of endless and delicious options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:19px\">For some instant inspiration or ideas, continue reading for a full course vegetarian catering menu, plus information on where to get trusted catering services near you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fftcaters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Vegetarian-Catering-Peachtree-City-GA-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Vegetarian Catering Peachtree City GA 678-340-0510\" class=\"wp-image-577\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fftcaters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Vegetarian-Catering-Peachtree-City-GA-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.fftcaters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Vegetarian-Catering-Peachtree-City-GA-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fftcaters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Vegetarian-Catering-Peachtree-City-GA-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fftcaters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Vegetarian-Catering-Peachtree-City-GA-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.fftcaters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Vegetarian-Catering-Peachtree-City-GA-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.fftcaters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Vegetarian-Catering-Peachtree-City-GA.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Vegetarian Catering Peachtree City GA 678-340-0510 <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:30px\">Vegetarian Catering Menu Options<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Appetizers and Hors d\u2019Oeuvres<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several appetizers and Hors d\u2019Oeuvres to choose from when custom creating a vegetarian catering menu. From finger foods and charcuterie to bread selections, hummus cups, canap\u00e9s, tapenade, and more, the selection is more than generous. Here are some popular choices to consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25a2 Bread Roll Platters<br>\u25a2  Caprese Salad Skewers<br>\u25a2  Bruschetta<br>\u25a2  Stuffed Mushrooms<br>\u25a2  Edamame<br>\u25a2  Cucumber Cream Cheese Boats<br>\u25a2  Stuffed Jalape\u00f1os<br>\u25a2  Artichoke Hearts<br>\u25a2  Flatbreads (Try Mushroom\/Gruyere, Truffle Parmesan, or Fig and Goat Cheese)<br>\u25a2  Vegetable Spring Rolls<br>\u25a2  Macaroni and Cheese Cups<br>\u25a2  Hummus Platter<br>\u25a2  Cheese and Crackers<br>\u25a2  Charcuterie<br>\u25a2  Veggie and Ranch Dip Platter<br>\u25a2  Chips and Salsa\/Guacamole<br>\u25a2  Falafel<br>\u25a2  Hush Puppies<br>\u25a2  Tapenade Platter<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>First Course Options<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to the first course, it is important to provide foods that will satisfy and spark hunger, but not fill your guests up completely. After all, when serving a full course meal, the first course is always followed by the main course. So, think light, like salads and soups. Here are some functional and tasty first course options that meet vegetarian catering guidelines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83e\udd57 <strong>SALADS:<\/strong><br>\u25a2  Leafy Green Salad (Spinach, Caesar, Garden, etc.)<br>\u25a2  Caprese Salad<br>\u25a2  Watermelon Feta Salad<br>\u25a2  Cucumber Onion Salad<br>\u25a2  Mushroom Vinaigrette Salad<br>\u25a2 Tabbouleh<br>\u25a2 Baba Ghanoush<br>\u25a2 Meatless Pasta Salad (Pesto, Italian, Creamy, etc.)<br>\u25a2 Thai Papaya Salad<br>\u25a2 Fruit Salad<br>\u25a2 Cottage Cheese and Pineapple<br>\u25a2 Waldorf Salad<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83c\udf75 <strong>SOUPS:<\/strong><br>\u25a2 Potato<br>\u25a2 Broccoli Cheddar<br>\u25a2 Mushroom<br>\u25a2 Vegetarian Chili <br>\u25a2 Gazpacho<br>\u25a2 Tomato<br>\u25a2 Cauliflower<br>\u25a2 Butternut Squash<br>\u25a2 Pumpkin<br>\u25a2 Black Bean<br>\u25a2 White Bean Chili<br>\u25a2 Pea Soup<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Main Course Options and Sides<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For the main course, you are free to go big. Focus your meal selections on savory foods that fill up the belly and satisfy the palate. When choosing your main course items, consider seasonal foods too, like pumpkins and apples in the Fall and oranges in the summer. Here are some delicious and versatile main course options for vegetarian catering:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25a2 Eggplant Parmesan<br>\u25a2 Vegetarian Stuffed Bell Peppers<br>\u25a2 Ratatouille <br>\u25a2 Fettuccine Alfredo<br>\u25a2 Spaghetti w\/Mushroom Rag\u00f9<br>\u25a2 Vegetarian Pasta<br>\u25a2 Cacio e Pepe<br>\u25a2 Black Bean Cheese Burgers<br>\u25a2 Grilled Tofu<br>\u25a2 Mushroom Wellington<br>\u25a2 Cheese Stromboli\/Calzone<br>\u25a2 Vegetarian Lasagna<br>\u25a2 Mushroom Stroganoff<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SIDES:<\/strong><br>\u25a2 Macaroni and Cheese<br>\u25a2 Potatoes (Mashed, Baked, Scalloped, Sweet, Tots, Fries, etc.)<br>\u25a2 All Vegetables (Steamed, Stewed, Grilled, Roasted, Fried, etc.)<br>\u25a2 Mashed Cauliflower<br>\u25a2 Rice<br>\u25a2 Beans (Baked, Black, Refried, Lima, etc.)<br>\u25a2 Onion Rings<br>\u25a2 Coleslaw<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\">Vegetarian <strong>Dessert is Easy!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dessert should not be a problem for vegetarian catering planning. Not many desserts are made with meat. Steer clear of maple bacon options and bacon jams, and you should do well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>Are you looking for a qualified catering company to help plan your custom vegetarian or vegan catering menu?<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fftcaters.com\/contact.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Contact Food for Thought Catering<\/a> at 678-340-0510 for customized <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fftcaters.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">catering services in Peachtree City, GA<\/a> and its surrounding counties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related Posts:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fftcaters.com\/blog\/easy-guide-to-catering-a-vegan-meal-spread\/\">Easy <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fftcaters.com\/blog\/easy-guide-to-catering-a-vegan-meal-spread\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Guide to Catering a Vegan Meal Spread<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fftcaters.com\/blog\/helpful-tips-for-kosher-catering\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Helpful Tips for Kosher Catering<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fftcaters.com\/blog\/the-benefits-of-farm-to-table-catering\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Benefits of Farm to Table Catering<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fftcaters.com\/contact.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"987\" height=\"254\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fftcaters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/11.png\" alt=\"Food for Thought Catering 678-340-0510\" class=\"wp-image-220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fftcaters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/11.png 987w, https:\/\/www.fftcaters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/11-300x77.png 300w, https:\/\/www.fftcaters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/11-768x198.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 987px) 100vw, 987px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Food for Thought Catering 678-340-0510 <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to a recent poll taken by Gallup.com, more than 5% of Americans claim to be a vegetarian, while many more take on the resolution every single day.
