I need to cook a healthy food that can be served to a class of 20 people. It is an assignment and is worth 100 points. This would be an easy assignment if it weren't for the healthy part. If anyone knows a simple recipe for a healthy dessert or healthy appetizers or anyt food that is easily served that would help a lot! Thanks!

For entree, try anything steamed/grilled - leanest meats are chicken and fish. a nice fruit or veggie salsa is a great topping, full of fresh produce. A salad is healthy for a appetizer, put a spin on it - just have fun. Nuts, especially almonds, are incredibly healthy. For desserts, anything with egg whites, such as marange cookies, or low-fat yogurts with fruit. Dark chocolate is good for you as well. If your interested, I could come up with a recipe in a snap.

Ratatouille / Capanada This is a very forgiving recipe. Proportions can be varied. You can use all green peppers, add zucchini, add the ends of fresh tomatoes lying around, etc. It is easily doubled, better made ahead, and keeps up to a week. Kids love it and never realize they are eating eggplant. It makes a lovely pasta sauce and a good omelet (especially with a little sour cream). You can add a few nuts, cover it with cheese, and put it under the broiler to make a nice little casserole for lunch. Enjoy. 2 TBSP Olive Oil 1 Large Onion, diced 1 Red Bell Pepper, diced 1 Green Bell Pepper, diced 6 Cloves Garlic (as directed) 1 Eggplant (1# or so), cubed w/ skin 1 Large Can S&W Diced Tomato 1 Tsp Thyme 1 tsp Rosemary 2 Tsp Oregano 2 Bay Leaves Salt and Pepper 2-3 TBSP Capers 1 Cup Olives , sliced or bite size (Olive Oil) French or Italian Bread, sliced Dice onion, heat olive oil in large, heavy sauté or casserole pan, and begin to sauté over medium high heat. Stir as needed to avoid color. Chop or slice garlic and add to onions. Continue to stir as needed. Diced bell peppers and add to onion mixture. Stir as needed. Dice Eggplant and add to mixture. Stir as needed. When eggplant has begun to soften, add canned tomatoes, thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, two more garlic cloves minced or pressed, salt and pepper. Reduce heat and simmer 25-30 minutes. Serve warm as ratatouille. To make capanada: Chill, add capers, olives, two more minced or pressed garlic cloves, and (optionally) good flavorful Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Serve with sliced bread rounds.
