Following a dairy-free diet can feel daunting at first, especially when it comes to meal planning. But with so many delicious and healthy options available, it’s easier than you might think! Here are some dinner ideas for those on a dairy-free diet:
1. Lemon Garlic Chicken with Asparagus: Season chicken breasts with garlic, lemon and herbs of your choice. Bake in the oven at 350°F for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through. Sauté asparagus in olive oil and minced garlic for 5-7 minutes. Serve together and enjoy!
2. Zucchini Noodles with Tomato Sauce: Sauté zucchini noodles in a pan with olive oil for 5-7 minutes until softened. Combine a can of crushed tomatoes, garlic, onion powder, salt and pepper in a saucepan and heat until simmering. Pour the sauce over the noodles and serve!
3. Green Salad with Grilled Shrimp: Grill seasoned shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and opaque. Serve them on a bed of mixed greens with diced vegetables of your choice. Drizzle with a dairy-free salad dressing.
4. Baked Sweet Potato with Chili: Bake sweet potatoes in the oven at 400°F for 45-50 minutes until they are soft and cooked through. In a separate pan, sauté ground turkey with chili powder, cumin, and garlic until browned. Serve the chili over the split sweet potato and add diced avocado, cilantro and green onions as toppings.
5. Beef Stir Fry with Vegetables: Thinly slice beef and marinate in a mix of gluten-free soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger and garlic. In a wok or large pan, stir fry sliced vegetables like peppers, onions, and broccoli. Once the vegetables are cooked, add the beef and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes.
These are just a few dinner ideas for those on a dairy-free diet! Remember, it’s all about finding what works for you and your taste preferences. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different flavors and ingredients and always read labels for hidden dairy products when grocery shopping.
