How much chicken salad for 70 people?

To figure out how much chicken salad you need for 70 people, we need more information! Here's why:

1. Serving Size: How much chicken salad do you plan to serve per person?

* Appetizer: You might serve 2-3 ounces per person.

* Main Course: A full serving might be 4-6 ounces or more.

* Side Dish: A smaller portion, maybe 1-2 ounces.

2. Other Food: Is chicken salad the main dish or a side? If it's a side, you'll need less.

Example Calculations:

* Let's say you want to serve a 3-ounce portion of chicken salad as a side dish.

* 3 ounces per person x 70 people = 210 ounces of chicken salad

* Convert ounces to pounds: 210 ounces / 16 ounces per pound = 13.125 pounds of chicken salad

General Rule of Thumb:

* Appetizer: 1 pound of chicken salad per 10 people

* Main Course: 1 pound of chicken salad per 5 people

* Side Dish: 1 pound of chicken salad per 15 people

Remember: These are just estimates. It's always better to err on the side of making a little more than you think you'll need. You can always save leftovers!
