Eggless Whole30 Smoked Salmon and Avocado Plate
Smoked salmon and creamy avocado are a natural pairing, and this plate pulls them together in a way that feels genuinely restaurant-worthy with almost zero effort. Butter lettuce leaves form a fresh, tender base, then fanned avocado and cucumber slices get draped with silky smoked salmon and scattered red onion for a dish that's as beautiful as it is satisfying. The real star is the quick lemon-caper dressing — just a whisk of olive oil, fresh lemon juice, briny capers, and a little sea salt and pepper — which ties every element together with a bright, savory punch. Fresh dill scattered over the top adds an herby finish that makes the whole plate feel polished and intentional. Because every ingredient here is naturally free of eggs, there's no substituting or second-guessing involved — it just works as written. This is the kind of no-cook assembly meal that's perfect for a light lunch or an impressive starter when you want something clean and vibrant on the table fast.
