A friend of mine has recently been diagnosed with celiac
disease, which can also be known as gluten intolerance. Some studies say that celiac disease affects
1 in 133 Americans. Gluten is found in
certain grains, such as wheat, barley, and rye.
Don’t let one, two, or a handful of your wedding guests who need
to skip on foods that contain gluten stress you out when it comes to your menu
decisions. Our in house caterer, Cypress
Grille, has several options for our non-gluten eating friends and family.
Below are just a few examples of items that are already on
our menu that would be suitable for such guests. Remember, Chefs Tom & Paul are always
willing to discuss “off the menu” options!
Appetizers
Quail Skewer: Skewered quail marinated with ancho chile and honey
Campechana: Mexican marinated shrimp cocktail
Shrimp Brochette: Skewered jumbo shrimp with jalapeno & cherry
tomato
Salads (without
dressing)
Caprese Salad: Sliced beefsteak tomato, sliced mozzarella, and basil
Mixed Field Greens Salad: Tomatoes, cucumbers
Entrees
Baked Chicken Breast: Stuffed with bacon, caramelized onions, and apples
served with lemon buerre blanc
Roasted Kona Style Chicken:
topped with tropical fruit salsa
Grilled Beef tenderloin: Center cut filet, served with choice of béarnaise or wild mushroom sauce
Grilled Wild Salmon: Fresh caught lightly seasoned and grilled over oak
Sides
Vegetable Medley: Asparagus, zucchini, yellow squash, red onion,
assorted bell peppers, and carrots served al dente
Haricot verts: Green beans seasoned with tomato and walnuts
Oven Roasted Potatoes: With rosemary, red onions and olive oil
And
of course, don’t forget your wedding cake!
Consider a gluten free option such as cheesecake.
