Dairy-less Recipes

These recipes were developed as a result of my ongoing efforts to cut dairy from my diet (oops, I mean UnDiet). I'll continue to add to this page - I'll put a notice in the Update and on the Recipe Index when I do.

Creamy Veggie Spread

Adapted from "Vegetarian Sandwiches"

All cheeses should be room temperature. If you don't have time you can put them in a ziplock bag and mash them with your hands until soft. To reduce the amount of dairy you can substitute firm silken tofu for either the chevre or the cream cheese, and use nondairy Parmesan that contains casein.

Mix together with food processor or mixer

1/2 cup chevre cheese
1/2 cup low-fat cream cheese
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese(you can use nondairy, but don't use the kind that comes in a shaker can and can survive indefinitely outside the refrigerator, use fresh Parmesan)
2 cloves garlic, mashed, or 4 cloves roasted

Stir together in medium bowl

2 roasted red bell peppers, chopped and well drained
1 small tomato, seeded, diced, and drained
1/2 cup chopped artichoke hearts
1/4 cup minced red onion
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil
sea salt and black pepper to taste

Use spread on Protein crackers and breads or to stuff celery sticks, cucumbers, radishes, and other veggies.

Dill Cream Cheese

If you like the taste of nondairy cream cheese then by all means use it in place of the dairy, but I don't like the slightly chalky, falsely sweet taste so I came up with this way of cutting back on dairy and still enjoying a cream cheese sandwich. I love to spread this on slices of whole grain bread sauteed in a little olive oil with a pile of thinly sliced salted cucumbers in between. If I have Protein bread around I'll use that instead. Thinned with a little cream this spread is a great veggie dip, or add chopped drained capers to the spread and use to stuff celery sticks. As you can see, the  possibilities are endless.

To you purists out there, the amount of dairy in this is okay with the Starch in the bread as long as you don't have any other Protein with the meal. The enzymes in the cucumbers help also.

Mix together until smooth

1/2 cup nondairy cream cheese
1/2 cup dairy cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon dried dill or 2 tablespoons fresh dill

Taste and add sea salt and black pepper if needed. A little fresh finely grated lemon peel gives this spread a little extra oomph.

Refrigerate until firm again.


If you haven't found the recipe you're looking for use this search engine to find the recipe you're looking for on the Internet.

TIP: type the word "recipe" after your search criteria, i.e. "chicken recipe" instead of just "chicken".

I love this search engine so much that I've almost abandoned my cookbooks. It's so much easier to just type in what I want and be given a page full of links to new recipes than to have to search through several cookbooks.
