Walnut Free Whole30 Smoked Salmon and Avocado Plate
This no-cook plate is proof that a meal can feel genuinely luxurious without turning on a single burner. Silky smoked salmon drapes over creamy avocado and cool cucumber slices, all nestled in crisp butter lettuce leaves that act as a fresh, edible base. A bright lemon-caper dressing ties everything together with a briny, citrusy punch that makes every bite feel intentional. Scattered fresh dill and paper-thin red onion add color and a little sharpness that keeps the richness of the salmon and avocado perfectly in check. Every ingredient here is naturally free from tree nuts, so there's no label-scanning or substitution stress — just clean, whole-food cooking from start to finish. It comes together in minutes and looks stunning on the plate, making it just as fitting for a quick weekday lunch as it is for a relaxed weekend spread.
