    Gluten-Free Crab Cakes with Spicy Dairy-Free Remoulade

    2
    By Alisa Fleming on June 26, 2013 Appetizers, Dairy-Free Recipes

    Crab cakes are often a surprise dairy-free find on menus. That said, some chefs do sneak in a little cheese or bath the patties in butter, so it doesn’t hurt to have a good homemade recipe on hand. As an added bonus, this recipe is adapted for gluten-free crab cakes – something that is a little harder to find – and includes a flavorful, naturally dairy-free remoulade sauce.

    Special Diet Notes: Gluten-Free Crab Cakes with Spicy Remoulade

    By ingredients, this recipe is dairy-free / non-dairy, gluten-free, nut-free, peanut-free, and optionally soy-free.

    For egg-free, gluten-free crab cakes, use vegan mayo in place of the mayonnaise, and substitute 2 to 3 tablespoons aquafaba (chickpea brine) for the egg.

    For paleo, gluten-free crab cakes, use almond meal or paleo-approved crackers in place of the cracker crumbs.

      How is the Remoulade sauce dairy-free if it is made with mayo?

        Mayonnaise is dairy free! It’s an emulsion of eggs and oil, but milk is not a component in basic mayonnaise.
