Entertaining after the holidays when everyone is watching their weight can be an exercise in frustration. A spa-inspired menu - which works equally well for lunch, brunch or dinner - satisfies the diet goals of your guests plus your desire for tasty food. There is no compromise on taste with these Canadian Living Test Kitchen selections, and the entire meal comes in under 675 calories - including dessert! Serve this menu individually plated or serve the fish packet and broccolini on platters for a self-serve buffet. All recipe links are listed below.

To start
When you guest arrive, have warm mugs of Tomato Broth to sip as a starter. Serve the Parmesan Croûtes on the side for dunking and nibbling.   

Main course
Rainbow Trout en Papillote is low fat way to cook a healthy fish entrée while packing in a ton of flavour. This method of cooking creates its own sauce and can be prepared well before your guests arrive, perfect for easy entertaining.

Lemon Garlic Broccolini has fresh bright taste to serve along side the fish. It is equally good hot or at room temperature
 
Dessert
Our Tropical Fruit Salad is made special with addition of pomegranate seeds and fresh mint. Serve low-calorie Double Coffee Meringue Kisses alongside for a sweet treat. Our calorie count allows for two cookies, but at only 7 calories each, help yourself!
