I need meal ideas for group of 25 people low cost, any ideas?

Question

Hello, I have to cater to a group of 25 people. I need to plan breakfast and lunch and dinner for three days. I am very limited on spending but I am told the meals need to be hearty, have a variety including some kind of salad item and not to spicy.

Does any one have any ideas?

Thanks in advance for your help. If you need more details please let me know. Thanks again :)

Answer 4

I am making the food for the same amount of people for a bridal shower next weekend. I plan to make large veg ceasar salad and a chinese chicken salad ( i use cooked chicken, coleslaw mix, greens onions, may & oriental dressing, crunchy noodles or sesame seeds) - its filling, easy, fresh. I also plan on making a jello mold - multilayered with tropical fruit - fun & festive.

If i don't make the chinese salad I may make a cuban rice salad - easy , colorful, healthy, fresh ( rice, black beans, tomato cilantro, etc. - maybe garnish it with fried plantain chips - cheap at ethnic grocery stores)

baked potato bar is always a cheap & fun way to entertain -

thats ultra cheap  & filling . Good luck!
