Buffet dinners are perfect for large groups and picky eaters. Here are some of the best food choices for your buffet dinner parties to wow your guests.

Buffet-style dinner parties are great ways to connect with your family members and friends. This type of dinner party is great for larger groups and people who are picky eaters. Although buffet dinners are known for having less-healthy options, here are six food choices for buffet-style dinner parties that are both healthy and tasty!

Build-Your-Own Salad

Salads can come in many forms. Adding a build-your-own salad station is great for picky eaters or people who don’t like certain vegetables. Create a toppings station with choices from croutons to Asiago cheese. Make sure to add a diverse selection of salad dressings, too! For a spring flavor, we suggest trying citrus-based salad dressings.

Brisket

There are many steak options to serve at large dinner parties. Brisket is one of the best options you can serve at your buffet; make it into sandwiches, or eat it by itself! Add a carving station so that your guests can help themselves to this delicious slow-cooked meat.

Oysters

Stun your dinner party guests with a platter of oysters! Place chilled oysters in half-shells on a buffet dish over ice. Make sure to place fresh lemon, horseradish, or mignonette sauce on the side.

Crab Legs

Your guests will rave over crab legs served with fresh lemon. Crab legs are a healthy seafood choice that guests can dip in garlic butter and pair with a nice salad from your salad bar.

Spinach Dip

Spinach dip is one of the best food choices for buffet-style dinner parties. This dip is an absolute classic side dish that goes great with crackers, tortilla chips, or toasted garlic bread. You can even add crab, shrimp, or scallops to your dip to make a seafood spinach dip.

Classic Deviled Eggs

Deviled eggs are another classic for buffet-style dinner parties. They’re perfect for snacking before getting to the main course. Add a twist to your deviled eggs by adding bacon and jalapeño on top.

Lemon & Honey Chicken

Lemon and honey-baked chicken is another excellent choice for dinner parties. It only takes about 20 minutes to make, and it has such a tremendous zesty, sweet flavor. Some people serve this dish cold on top of a salad, or you can serve it warm; it just depends on your preference.
