7 Easy Dairy Free Dinner Ideas To Make This Week

One pot beef mince pasta with a serving spoon.

1. One Pot Beef Mince Pasta

This one pot beef mince pasta is a quick and comforting weeknight dinner made with simple pantry staples. Everything cooks together in one pot for minimal clean up, and the result is a creamy, savoury pasta packed with flavour.

Salmon and rice bowl with avocado.

2. Air Fryer Salmon Bowls

These air fryer salmon bowls are quick and easy to make and are the perfect healthy weeknight meal. The salmon pieces take just 6 minutes to cook and are flavoured with a simple marinade, served over a bed of white sushi rice and topped with avocado, cucumber, edamame and a spicy sriracha mayonnaise.

Meal prep containers with hot honey beef and sweet potato.

3. Hot Honey Sweet Potato Beef Bowl

This hot honey sweet potato beef bowl is a high-protein, flavour-packed meal inspired by the viral TikTok trend. With caramelised sweet potatoes, seasoned beef mince, cottage cheese, and a drizzle of hot honey to finish, it is the ultimate nourishing bowl for lunch or dinner.

No fold pork dumplings in a pan with chilli oil.

4. No Fold Dumplings

This is my version of the viral no fold dumplings! You have probably seen this genius hack on TikTok where you can create delicious homemade dumplings, without the hassle of folding and wrapping. Just layer the wrapper over balls of filling in a pan like a blanket and steam. Skip the takeaway and give these a try instead!

Dairy free mac and cheese in a bowl.

5. Dairy Free Mac and Cheese

This dairy free mac and cheese is the ultimate weeknight comfort food. Ready in just 20 minutes, it is the kind of easy, cosy dinner you can throw together after a long day and still feel like you have indulged in something special. My secret is nutritional yeast, which gives the sauce a deliciously cheesy flavour without any dairy or cashews.

6. Sweet and Spicy Noodles

These sweet and spicy noodles come together in just 5 minutes making it the perfect quick and easy vegetarian meal for busy weeknights. Made using just a few ingredients and a healthy serving of vegetables for good measure, this is sure to be a recipe you’ll make over and over again!

Stack of 4 zucchini fritters with sour cream on a plate with lemon.

7. Zucchini Fritters

These easy homemade zucchini fritters are quick to make and are the perfect simple and healthy light lunch, dinner or brunch! These fritters are made dairy free and are crispy on the outside and tender in the centre. They are my absolute favourite way to enjoy fresh summer zucchini!
