    Easy Italian Grilled Skewers with Vegan Option

    By Alisa Fleming on July 23, 2013 Dairy-Free Recipes, Entrees

    These easy grilled skewers have a hearty summer twist with potatoes. Paired with fresh zucchini, your meat or non-meat (see below) of choice, and a convenient dairy-free and gluten-free Italian dressing, this meal can be on the table in minutes.

    Easy Italian Grilled Skewers - Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free with vegan optionThe recipe and image, as is, were shared with us by the Wisconsin Potato Board, but the versatility of these grilled skewers is unsurpassed. Below are a few free-from notes and options.

    Gluten-Free / Dairy-Free Grilled Skewers

    Though this recipe may appear completely allergen-free, mystery ingredients can linger in the dressing and meat. For a solid Italian dressing or vinaigrette without any funny business, I recommend Annie’s Naturals. They offer several intriguing options, including their Tuscany Italian. It’s labeled gluten-free and vegan, and made without any dairy, soy, egg, nut, or tree nut ingredients. We also like the Whole Foods 365 brand, which has many affordable options that seem to mimic the Annie’s line.

    As for the meat, sausage or turkey kielbasa (a leaner option) can contain gluten and/or dairy fillers. Read the label carefully; brands such as Applegate Farms and Trader Joe’s are quite forthcoming with easy-to-read, all-natural ingredients. Or you can go a completely different route with meat-free grilled skewers …

    For Vegan and Vegetarian Grilled Skewers

    Follow the recommendations above for finding some dairy-free and vegan salad dressings, and opt for either vegan soy-based Italian sausages, vegan artisan wheat-based Italian sausages, or my preference, all veggies. Eggplant chunks or whole mushrooms are a great substitute for a plant-based main.
