Apps with 0% dairy?

Hi everyone! I am throwing a bday party on Monday for a friend of mine who just found out she has a bad allergy to anything dairy and milk (not lactose intolerant). Apparently there is milk in many things, even those we would not suspect, so our choices for apps are a little limited. I myself am a huge cheese lover so I'm finding it hard to come up w/apps that have no dairy. I am going for a filling apps and cocktails menu. Besides the usual veggies, hummus, and fruit, can you please suggest some recipes I could look up? TIA!

• Shrimp with cocktail sauce 
• Deviled Eggs, or a variation like Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs
• Pigs in a blanket
• Cocktail meatballs

You can make just about any recipe you normally would, just replace milk with nondairy milk or butter with other oils. Look for vegan recipes, too.

I love sausage stuffed dates wrapped in bacon. A lot of recipes will call for chorizo, but I think that they are delicious with regular sausage. Some recipes call for a maple glaze, but they are sweet enough without! Here is my favorite recipe:

I know you said she is not lactose intolerant...but I bet if you search lactose free appys you will find a lot of non-dairy options!
