Passover recipes already have many restrictions, such as no barley, oats, rye, spelt, wheat, rice, corn, peanuts or beans, and some traditions, though certainly not all, omit dairy products as well. Below are some of my favorite dairy-free recipe ideas that are suitable for Passover and will be welcome additions to your Passover feast.
