    What can vegans eat at parties?

    Depending on the occasion, there are several options for vegans to eat at parties! At buffet style events there's usually a vegetable platter with hummus. Most likely a salad will be served as well. Skip the cheese and opt for a vinaigrette dressing. The main course can be trickier and vary a lot so it's best to ask the host if there will be any vegan options.

    If you are the host, we have a bunch of vegan party food ideas for you below! These are perfect for casual get-togethers, game day or super bowl watch parties, potlucks, new year parties or really any occasion where you will be having vegan guests in attendance. But don't worry, even non-vegans will love these foods!

    • delicious and flavorful
    • budget-friendly
