Seed Oil Free Whole30 Smoked Salmon and Avocado Plate
This no-cook plate is proof that eating clean doesn't have to mean eating boring. Silky smoked salmon, creamy avocado, and crisp cucumber come together in a way that feels genuinely restaurant-worthy, finished with a bright lemon-caper dressing made with extra-virgin olive oil — the only fat in the entire dish. That matters because so many store-bought dressings and packaged proteins sneak in refined vegetable or seed oils, making it hard to know exactly what you're eating. Here, every ingredient is straightforward and intentional, so there's no guesswork. The dressing is whisked together in minutes and does a lot of heavy lifting — briny capers, fresh lemon juice, and cracked black pepper bring real depth without any processed shortcuts. Butter lettuce leaves act as a natural base, keeping things light and letting the quality of the salmon and avocado shine. It's the kind of plate that looks impressive enough to serve to guests but comes together fast enough for a solo lunch.
