Potlucks are always a good time because of lots of food, lots of people, lots of fun. But if you’re trying to keep things on the healthier side, that can get tricky fast.
The good news? You don’t need to show up with a sad salad or skip the party altogether. That’s why I put together this list of 17 healthy potluck recipes that are full of flavor.

17 Healthy Potluck Recipes
1. Egg muffins

Great make-ahead option. Whisk eggs with chopped spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms, and a sprinkle of cheese.
Pour into muffin tins and bake. Easy to grab and eat.
2. Quinoa and Black Bean Casserole

This one travels well and reheats great. Combine cooked quinoa, black beans, salsa, corn, and a sprinkle of cheese. Bake until bubbly. It’s a protein-packed crowd-pleaser.
3. Rainbow Veggie Wraps

Use whole wheat or spinach wraps and layer them with hummus, shredded carrots, purple cabbage, sliced bell peppers, cucumbers, and leafy greens.
Roll tightly and slice into pinwheels. These are as fun to look at as they are to eat.
4. Spaghetti Squash Boats

Cook spaghetti squash and scoop out the strands. Mix them with sautéed spinach, diced tomatoes, garlic, and light feta.
Spoon the mixture back into the squash shells and bake.
5. Asian Lettuce Cups

Use crisp romaine or butter lettuce leaves as a base. Fill them with ground chicken or tofu stir-fried with garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and chopped water chestnuts.
They’re like healthy little tacos, packed with bold flavor but without the carbs.
6. Apple and Walnut Slaw

This fresh take on coleslaw swaps out the mayo for a tangy vinaigrette. Use shredded cabbage, julienned apples, thin-sliced red onion, and crushed walnuts.
Add a splash of apple cider vinegar and honey. It’s crunchy, sweet, and clean.
7. Mini Veggie Frittatas

Bake small frittatas in muffin tins using eggs, chopped vegetables, and a bit of cheese. Add herbs like basil or parsley for an extra layer of flavor.
These are ideal for breakfast potlucks or mid-morning brunch-style gatherings. And they hold up well at room temp.

Roast sweet potato rounds and top them with guacamole or goat cheese and herbs. You can even do a spicy hummus if you like heat.
