Dairy-Free & Gluten-Free Charcuterie Boards for Everyone to Enjoy.
A charcuterie board should be a feast for the senses, but for those avoiding dairy and gluten, traditional boards filled with cheese and crackers can be off-limits. The good news?
You can build an incredible, crowd-pleasing spread without a single drop of dairy or a crumb of gluten! With creative swaps and delicious alternatives.
Flavorful Dairy-Free CheeseSkip the traditional cheeses and go for delicious plant-based alternatives. Look for nut-based cheeses made from cashews or almonds, or try coconut-based cheddar and mozzarella.
Gluten-Free Crunchy OptionReplace standard crackers with gluten-free choices like almond flour crisps, seed crackers, or rice cakes. Sliced cucumbers, jicama sticks, and bell pepper strips also make perfect low-carb dippers.
Savory & Sweet DipInstead of dairy-based spreads, serve up flavorful hummus, guacamole, baba ganoush, or a white bean dip. Olive tapenade and pesto (made without cheese) add bold flavors.
Protein-Packed AdditionFor a hearty touch, include smoked salmon, prosciutto, or plant-based proteins like marinated tempeh and roasted chickpeas.
Fresh & Dried FruitAdd color and natural sweetness with fresh grapes, berries, and apple slices. Dried figs, apricots, and dates provide chewy texture and pair beautifully with nuts and dips.
Nuts & Olives for Extra FlavorAlmonds, walnuts, pistachios, and pecans add crunch and healthy fats. A selection of olives—green, black, or stuffed—brings a briny contrast to the board.
