Gluten Free Menu Options at Your Wedding

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.
