Go to Gallery

In their natural state, most raw and unprocessed vegetables are indeed Kosher. However, once you liven these ingredients up with anything like butter, cheese, or meat, they become part of either the dairy or meat category and therefore cannot appear on a mixed plate. To help you keep kosher this Passover season, we rounded up several dairy and meat free vegetable recipes so your holiday can be as delicious as it is holy.
