Nut-Free Recipe Ideas

Appetizers & Snacks

Start your holiday meal with a selection of nut-free appetizers. Opt for fresh vegetable platters with dip, crispy roasted chickpeas, or a cheese and charcuterie board complete with a variety of crackers, cured meats, and dried fruits. Speaking of charcuterie boards, adorn your tree with festive ornaments like the Charcuterie Board Ornament – Festive Holiday Decoration by Kurt Adler available on our website.
