Allergy Friendly Snack Board - Two Ways
A snack board is perfect for any time of day as it has the perfect combination of a little bit of everything. In this post, learn how to make easy allergy friendly snack board loaded with sweet, spicy, savory and crunchy bites.
While snack boards are known more as a party food but can also be a fun weeknight meal. Perfect for game or movie nights or when you don't feel like cooking much.
This is the very first time I have ever made a snack/cheese/charcuterie board and I discovered that Allergy Friendly Snack Board is pretty simple to make. I ended up making two different variations.
The two different Board Variations
- Vegan Cheese Board: A combination of meats, different dairy free cheeses, fruits and vegetables.
- Sweet and Savory Snack Board: A combination of salty crackers and sweet cookies and candies, makes it more like a dessert board.
Read ahead to see what I included in each and learn how to assemble the boards.
Vegan Cheese Board
This board is probably the closest to a traditional charcuterie board but with a vegan touch as it contains vegan cheeses and plant based cured meats.
Dairy Free Cheese
- Cream Cheese - flavoured or plain
- Cheese Sticks - mozzarella/cheddar
- Cheese Slices - any flavour you like
Meats
Any favorite regular cured meat.To make it vegan any kind of plant based cured meat of choice such as plant based pepperoni like I have used in this board.

Vegetables

Cook Notes
- Make sure that you put the items that can roll off the board easily near the center or in a bowl, such as the chickpeas
- Use the ingredients to make the two different boards as they are or mix and match the items, you can even combine all the ingredients to make one big board.
