Yes, I just slice the zucchini and put a spread on it. Don't think of it as a cracker...more like you might enjoy stuffed celery

I'd pat them dry with a paper towel IF they are moist, but usually they are fine just to use as sliced. If I use daikon, or especially cucumber which IS wet, I pat them dry first.

The French call such things "crudites" (crew-dee-tays) so they MUST be fancy, right?

Today I added "smoked oysters" to my relish tray...we liked them. And smoked salmon (not lox) is GREAT as well, on top the salmon spread or even just plain creamed cheese . The thing about the little round is you need VERY LITTLE dairy with something else (like the smoked salmon) on top. Maybe this "little amount" of dairy will be OK for you soon.

Wafer sliced pepperoni and salamis are something I rely on as well. No dairy there. Cut into small pieces and eat one at a time. Takes a long time to finish, i.e. feeling satisfied.

Hope a suggestion works for you...
