What to Cook for a Vegan When You Have a Party
Chips with salsa and guacamole
Not only is chips with salsa and guacamole vegan friendly, it's a great party dish. Just make sure you don't add cheese to the salsa. If you want to add cheese, set aside some salsa for your vegan guest. In addition, make sure the guacamole does not have sour cream in it.
Salad
This is easy and simple to prepare. Also, you can add a bag of precut vegetables to make the salad more like a meal. However, check the label of the salad dressing because there could be cheese as one of the ingredients. Most olive oil and Asian based dressings are usually vegan friendly.
Rice and beans
By adding canned tomatoes to rice and beans, is like making chili without the meat. You can make it spicy or mild depending on your guest's taste. You can also add other vegetables like onions and green peppers. Your vegan friend or family member can eat this as their main dish.
Pasta with marinara sauce
Similar to rice and beans, this is also a main dish. You can get creative by adding squash, zucchini, mushrooms, onions, green peppers and canned tomatoes. Just make sure the marinara sauce does not have cheese in it.
Fruit salad
Fruit salad is one of the most simplest vegan friendly dishes you can have at your party. You can buy precut fruits and serve it as a dessert. Also, you can make your own by using cantaloupe, honeydew, watermelon, strawberries, grapes, peaches, etc...the possibilities are endless. This is especially helpful if you have other desserts at your party that are made with eggs or dairy.
Serving food for your vegan friends and family does not have to be difficult. These foods can be enjoyed by everyone. By adding these foods to your list, you can make your vegan guest feel welcome in your home.

I always try to serve chips and homemade guacamole and fresh salsa at get-togethers. My vegan friends appreciate the extra effort, and it is a hit with everyone in attendance. Thanks for the tips; I'll have to try the rest out at my next house party!
Nice article. I was shocked this summer when some relatives came to visit. The sister-in-law could not eat tomatoes and her hubby could not eat red meat. That floored me. But we made do and enjoyed the visit.
