Tips for Ordering Mediterranean Catering
Mediterranean cuisine is celebrated for its rich flavors and health benefits, making it a popular choice for catering events. Whether you're planning a corporate lunch, a family gathering, or a special celebration, opting for Mediterranean catering can provide a nutritious and satisfying experience for your guests. Here are some tips to ensure you order the healthiest options:
1. Focus on Fresh Ingredients
Mediterranean cuisine is known for its emphasis on fresh, wholesome ingredients. When selecting a catering menu, prioritize dishes that feature plenty of vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Look for salads with fresh greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, and olives, and request olive oil-based dressings rather than creamy alternatives.
2. Choose Grilled Over Fried
Grilling is a staple cooking method in Mediterranean cuisine and is much healthier than frying. Opt for grilled proteins like chicken, fish, or lamb, which are often marinated in herbs and spices that enhance flavor without adding extra calories. Avoid fried items like falafel or fried calamari if you want to keep the meal light.
3. Include Plant-Based Dishes
Mediterranean diets are rich in plant-based foods. Incorporate a variety of vegetarian dishes such as hummus, baba ghanoush, tabbouleh, and stuffed grape leaves. These dishes are not only delicious but also packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They can be great options for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike.
4. Watch the Portions
Even healthy foods can lead to overeating if portions are too large. When ordering catering, consider the appropriate serving sizes. Ask the catering service to provide smaller portions or shareable platters. This approach allows guests to sample a variety of dishes without overindulging.
5. Limit Bread and Heavy Sides
While pita bread and other Mediterranean breads are tasty, they can add up in calories, especially when paired with dips. If you’re aiming for a lighter meal, consider limiting the amount of bread and opt for healthier sides like roasted vegetables or a Greek salad.
6. Be Mindful of Sauces and Dressings
Many Mediterranean dishes come with rich sauces and dressings that can be high in calories and fat. Ask for sauces and dressings on the side so guests can control how much they use. Choosing yogurt-based dressings like tzatziki can also be a healthier alternative to creamier options.
7. Include a Variety of Beverages
Complement the meal with healthy beverage options. Traditional choices like sparkling water with a splash of lemon, herbal teas, or fresh juices can be refreshing and align with the Mediterranean theme. Avoid sugary drinks and sodas that can detract from the health benefits of the meal.
8. End with a Light Dessert
For dessert, stick to lighter options that are still in line with Mediterranean cuisine. Fresh fruit platters or yogurt with honey and nuts can be a delightful way to end the meal without the added sugar and fat of heavier desserts.
By keeping these tips in mind, you can ensure that your Mediterranean catering is not only delicious but also promotes healthy eating. Your guests will appreciate the flavorful, nutritious options, making your event both enjoyable and health-conscious.
