Cashew Free Whole30 Smoked Salmon and Avocado Plate
Silky smoked salmon, buttery avocado, and crisp cucumber come together on a bed of butter lettuce for a plate that looks like it belongs in a weekend brunch spread — but takes almost no time to pull off. The bright lemon-caper dressing ties everything together with a briny, citrusy punch that makes each bite feel intentional and fresh. Because every ingredient here is naturally whole and minimally processed, there's no need to scan labels for sneaky additives or worry about cross-contact with tree nuts. The capers add a little pop of savory depth, the dill keeps things light and herbaceous, and the thinly sliced red onion gives just enough bite to balance the richness of the salmon and avocado. It's the kind of no-cook assembly that feels effortless but genuinely impressive, whether you're meal-prepping a clean lunch or putting something beautiful on the table for guests.
