Planning a date night? Here’s A Perfect Gluten-Free & Vegan Date Night Menu that will impress and wow anyone you’re trying to please. No one will notice that this meal plan of beautiful and delicious recipes is gluten-free & vegan!
Word on the street is that Valentine’s Day is next week! I know you have something special planned…right? It’s okay! If you’re struggling with creating a perfect gluten-free and vegan menu, I’ve got you covered! When we need our dishes to be gluten-free and vegan, but still impress the man (or woman) in our lives, the anxiety can start to amp up in preparation for the big night. Even if you’re not doing something for Valentine’s Day, this menu is crafted for any special or date night that may pop up down the road! From appetizers to dessert, you’re options are endless, beautiful, delicious, and 100% swoon-worthy!
Appetizers
A spread of fresh fruit like grapes or strawberries, some artisanal vegan nut cheese, hummus, and some Crunchmaster Gluten-Free Crackers! My favorite are the Multi-Grain Sea Salt Crackers!
Beverages
Need some non-alcoholic beverages? Try these Virgin Banana Daiquiris or these Frosty Coconut Mint Green Tea Mocktails. Need something warm? Healing Tahini Hot Chocolates for all!
First Course
A beautiful Raw Balsamic Tahini Beet Noodle Salad and some Rosemary Yeast Buns are perfect for a light first course before the main event! Full of flavor and texture, lovely color and warming rosemary scents!
Side Dishes
A simple veggie side dish could be these Baby Purple Brussels Sprouts (they’ll turn anyone into a Brussels lover!). You can even serve some Roasted Broccolini with Lemon Herb Sauce!
Main Course
No one could pass up a plate of Purple Sweet Potato Gnocchi! So simple to make and paleo! If you want another colorful dish, serve this Beetroot Risotto or maybe share a Levantine Socca Pizza!
Dessert
The best way to end this meal of wonder? Some Chocolate Caramel Affogatos, of course! I wouldn’t get made if you chose this Strawberry Cappuccino Ice Cream or these Chocolate-Dipped Coconut Macaroons either (both of which are paleo!
So tell me:
+ Do you have any special date nights planned in celebration of Valentine’s Day (or just because)?
