Why it works
- Tree nut allergy: No nuts anywhere: the crunch comes from plain gluten-free breadcrumbs.
- Milk allergy: No milk, butter or cheese: olive oil does the crisping and the dip is fruit.
- Wheat allergy: The crumb is gluten-free breadcrumbs, so there is no wheat in the coating.
- Dairy-free: Olive oil and a sweet-tart blueberry dip instead of any butter or cream.
Dairy-free check: watch for butter, cream, cheese, whey, casein and milk powder in packaged foods. Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice: always check labels for allergens and cross-contact.
