A Healthy Wedding Menu That Your Diet Conscious Guests Will Love

Food forms an essential part of every Indian wedding. The food served in Indian weddings is quite sumptuous and grand. However, people nowadays have become extremely health-conscious. They no longer prefer gorging on dishes laden with oil even if it’s for a single day. Result? The guests end up returning home empty stomach. Apart from this being an embarrassment, what is of grave concern is the enormous loss not only of food but of your hard earned money as well! Mulling over regarding how to avoid this mishap? Include some healthy food in the wedding menu. Plan the menu to include food items that are not only healthy but satiate the taste buds of those invitees who are on a diet as well. Check out some such food options below.

Salad Bar

In case you harbor the notion that salads don’t have any significant role to play in Indian weddings, we would urge you to hold your thoughts and eliminate them right away as your ‘out-of-the-box‘ menu starts with salads itself. For people following a strict diet regimen, setting up a salad bar comprising of numerous exotic fruits and veggies would be an excellent option.

Live Counter

Live counters give you the liberty to make your own food. The amount of oil, seasonings and herbs you want in your food would be solely added based on your preference as you would be the creator of your own dish.
