When you’re in charge of catering for an event, selecting the menu is your first challenge. The temptation is to just stick to the main course and maybe some appetizers and skip the salads. Because how many people want to eat salad, really? We understand the thought, but salads are actually an important part of catering any event. If you don’t think they could possibly be that crucial, let our team at Constantly Pizza convince you. There’s a reason why salad options make up a significant section of our catering menu.
Are you planning the catering for an upcoming event? Here’s why you shouldn’t leave salad off the menu.
Balance It Out
Think about the foods that are easy to cook for a large group of people: pizza, pasta, subs. There are plenty more, but they all tend to be carb-heavy. People expect that, and there’s no reason to stray from the norm. However, to balance out the meal, you need something lighter on offer as well. That’s where the salad comes in. It brings some vegetables into the mix and provides a welcome contrast to the main course.
A Meal in Itself
Another option is to make salad the main meal. If you’re hosting a lunchtime event, a salad with some protein is the perfect option. After the event, everyone has to get on with the rest of their day, so you don’t want to serve anything too heavy. However, you don’t want anyone to leave hungry. We offer Caesar, grilled, or buffalo chicken salads to give you some options that will be popular with everyone. We also have a steak tip salad if you want to step up your salad game a little bit.
Plenty of Options
People think of salad as boring, but that’s not true! There are so many options beyond basic garden or Caesar salads. As we mentioned above, you can add chicken or steak tips, or you can try something other than the basic greens plus protein. We have antipasto that’s loaded with delicious ingredients and complementary flavors. Potato and pasta salads make great sides, and our sliced Pomadoro brings simple elegance to any event.
