Question
We do not have respectable dairy serving dishes, and usually, we do not have a problem since festive meals are not dairy. However, sometimes, for example, during the dairy festive meal of Shavuot or at a Hanukkah party, we want to serve real dairy salads, such as Greek salad with pieces of non-spicy cheese, in a respectable dish in honor of the holiday, and we only have meat dishes. Is this permissible according to Halacha?
Answer
It is forbidden to initially serve food containing actual dairy products in a meat dish, even if the dish has not been used at all in the last 24 hours, even if the food is cold and not spicy. This is because the sages decreed that one might not wash the dish properly, and meat residue might remain before placing the dairy, or dairy residue before placing meat again.
