Top 3 Treats to enjoy that are gluten free

1. Top 3 Treats to enjoy that  are gluten free      Gluten-free food has come a long way. As more of us are gluten-free (or have friends,  family or co-workers who are), party food has evolved to include many gluten-free  options that everyone will love. Some people believe that arranging a gluten-free party  menu is difficult, but it’s really not. You can find interesting main dishes, sides and drinks  that everyone will love, whether they’re gluten-free or not. Here are a few suggestions  for a gluten-free party menu to please all your guests.  TRY SALAD WITHOUT THE BOWLS Everyone loves salad, but it’s really not the best party food. Did you know that you can  serve your favourite salads and skip the bowls, plates and cutlery? Save yourself the  mess (and dishes!) and try salad skewers instead of traditional salads. 

2. Waldorf salad skewers: grapes, apple chunks, celery slices, walnut halves  Greek salad skewers: cubes of feta cheese, cherry tomatoes, cucumber chunks,  kalamata olives  Chef salad skewers: cubed ham, cheddar cheese, wedges of hard-boiled eggs,  FLAVOURED SPIRITS CAN BE GLUTEN-FREE  There are many options when you’re trying to stock up the drinks table. Did you know  that pure distilled liquor, even if made from wheat, barley, or rye, is considered  gluten-free? Most liquors are actually safe for people with celiac disease because of the  distillation process.  However, be on the lookout for hidden gluten in liquors that add flavourings or other  additives after distillation. If you are looking for ​Gluten Free Gin​, read your label carefully  and you’ll be surprised to discover that you can find gluten-free gin with interesting  flavours like jasmine and mandarin orange, like those made by Barentsz.    Instead of mixed drinks, offer a variety of flavoured spirits served neat, over ice.  Flavoured spirits make a bold statement just by themselves.   

3. HUMMUS WITH A TWIST    Everyone loves hummus dip, but have you ever considered it as a main course? Once  you add meat, cheese or vegetables, it can be a satisfying main dish option that pairs  well with corn chips, mini rice cakes, nut thins or gluten-free breadsticks. Traditional  hummus dip is served with a drizzle of olive oil and a smattering of chickpeas, consider  upgrading for the party season with the following ethnic-inspired options:  Greek hummus: feta cheese, chopped kalamata olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, Greek  spices and a drizzle of olive oil    Lebanese hummus: ground beef seasoned with onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, topped  with pine nuts and parsley  Mexican hummus: black beans, guacamole, top with grated cheddar and a dollop of sour  cream  Chef’s tip: Consider plating your hummus dip in ramekins for an elegant single-serving  presentation  TAKEAWAY  If you know you’ll be having gluten-free guests at your party, it’s not difficult to make an  amazing menu that everyone will love. Gluten-free food can be flavourful, interesting and  fun. If you’re looking for a main dish, upgrade your hummus dip with a variety of toppings  and serve personal-sized hummus bowls. Serve with salad ingredients artfully arranged  on skewers and finish with a drinks bar featuring flavoured spirits. Even your guests who  eat gluten will be impressed.    Original Source: ​https://www.foodwellsaid.com/top-3-treats-to-enjoy-that-are-gluten-free/
