Gluten Free Summer Appetizers
Summer is the perfect time for appetizers because of the seasonal and colorful fruits and veggies that are available during this time. Summer appetizers can compliment the main course meal and are often served on their own with a glass of wine or a fresh juice to family or guests.
Great Recipes for Summer Appetizers
Made from a blend of whole grains, our Original Multi-Grain Crackers provide a hint of sweetness, making them the perfect cracker to complement the flavor profiles of most sweet flavors of spread, like a fruit jam.
Crackers and Dip/Crudités
A cracker and dip platter (aka charcuterie) is an essential appetizer that is always a crowd-pleaser, especially during the summer. A dip brand that we love to pair with our crackers is a brand called "Bitchin’ Sauce". They make a range of delicious, Non-GMO dips and sauces that pair splendidly with our crackers. Their assortment of dip flavors include Pesto, Caramelized Onion, Eggplant & Olive, and Bombay.
Grilled Summer Veggies
Cooking meals on a grill with friends and family is a great way to enjoy the long and hot summer days.
Easy-to-prepare grill appetizers or snacks are always essential when waiting for the main meal. This appetizer takes about 10 minutes to make and combines the freshness of green beans sautéed in olive oil with a pleasing crispy crunch from the almonds…and from Milton’s Gluten Free Olive Oil and Sea Salt Crackers.
If you want to change up the greens a little, use fresh asparagus instead of green beans, sprinkle a generous amount of cracked black pepper and add crushed Milton’s Gluten Free Everything Crackers before serving and voilà!
