Shavuot is traditionally a dairy holiday, because the Israelites who were waiting to receive the Torah had not yet received the laws that govern the ritual slaughter and kosher preparation of meat. (For more information about why Shavuot is a dairy holiday check out the article Why Dairy on Shavuot?)
As usual, I have a whole host of dietary restrictions that come along with my guests--some are lactose intolerant, some are allergic to fish,some are vegetarian and one in particular can't digest any vegetables that are not red or white. I try to cover all the bases so that everyone is happy while still making the yearly Shavuot treats that I look forward to eating.
Here are two lunch menus with alternatives that should fit any bill:
Cream of Tomato & Vegetable Soup
Baked Poached Salmon (add spinach-feta in filo dough if someone doesn't eat fish).
Green Sauce
Cucumber Salad
Corn Salad
Chocolate Cheesecake
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Mixed Berries
Gazpacho (Watermelon Gazpacho if melons are good)
Halibut Salad
Lasagne
French String Bean Salad
Cream Cheese Cake
Oatmeal-currant cookies
Mixed Berries
