Anyone here Gluten Free?

[Misty Cato]

I'm going to a lunch tomorrow and need to bring a salad. The family we are dining with eat gluten free. I'm assuming all veggies are fine, but what about the dressing?

Can anyone give me a brief education or point me to a list of ingredients that are acceptable/not acceptable.

Thanks in advance!

Misty, veggies are fine. Avoid grains (specifically wheat/rye/barley/bran/spelt great list here (http://www.csaceliacs.org/gluten_grains.php)) A safe bet for dressing is just oil and vinegar (but not malt vinegar--that has gluten). Bleu cheese should also be avoided unless you can confirm the cheese was molded with something other than bread mold.

Here's a list of links to find gluten free dressings by brand. Again--oil/vinegar with some spices/herbs is really safest.
