This Sunday Salad is packed with luscious deliciousness. It has a great balance of textures and flavors. Whole30 or not, this is going to become a crowd favorite. It’s easy to assemble, and a perfect entree salad for Sunday dinner with leftovers (if there are any) for the week!
2. Marinated Onions
I lovea magic elixir–a special sauceor bit of magic that turns ordinary food into extraordinary. In my circle, I’m a little famous for the bowl of marinated red onions on my kitchen counter (we even call them “Counter Onions”!)…which isamusing, because how could I haveknown these onions would start a movement? Frommy Instagram stories, you may know that I prizea beautiful entrée salad, and every entrée salad I make includes a bit of this oniony goodness. And there just isn’t a simpler recipe out there!
3. Whole30 Heroine Chicken
The trick to this spectacular Whole30 recipe is to marinate the chicken for 48 hours before roasting. Now, you may see this recipe and say “oh, lemon chicken”, but there is something about the combination of ingredients, marinade and time that is a little piece of magic that I am not going to question.
4. Whole30 Salisbury Steak
I love an old-school dish, and I especially enjoy updating my old-school favorites. My Whole30 Salisbury Steak is a soul-satisfying, truly delicious, sumptuous dinner you will want to add to your weekly rotation.
5. Whole30 Shrimp Tacos with Avocado Crema
I have to say, Whole30 Shrimp Tacos are a total let’s go moment! To keep these shrimp tacos Whole30, we used Jicama wrapswhich lend a really great little crunch to every bite.
My Fabulous Whole30 Wedge Salad Recipe!
One dish I miss on Whole30 is a wedge salad. So, I created a recipe that would play on that and not make me feel one bit deprived. It starts with a wedge of iceberg, then tiny chopped peppers, crisps of Whole30 compatible bacon, soft-boiled eggs, this truly amazing Green Goddess dressing MAGIC ELIXIRS, then it is finished off with some fabulous crispy cashews that take it over the top. You’re absolutely going to love it!

The wedge salad offers a cool, crisp dish that's appreciated by steak lovers and vegetarians. Restaurant chefs craft signature salads for their dining rooms. Home chefs keep fresh lettuce in the fridge for building healthy family meals around crisp wedges.
From wedges of iceberg lettuce to quarters of Napa cabbage and halves of romaine hearts, the trick to eating any wedge salad is simple — always use both a fork and knife, slicing and arranging each forkful as you go!
“The surrounding ingredients of a wedge salad are very expensive,” says Couper. “We typically use two types of blue cheese that are not inexpensive. Plus, we use hand-cut Nueske's bacon that we fry to order, and that's not cheap.” You can find picture-perfect versions of the wedge at Kinzie Chophouse (400 N.
Run cold water over each quarter, using your fingers to gently separate the leaves to let the water inside. You can also place the quarters in a bowl of cold water, gently swishing them to loosen any bad stuff trapped inside. Remove the lettuce from the water and let drain on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
The Whole30 diet could make your blood sugar levels fluctuate. It can also cause inflammation in your gut, and hurt your health. If you have diabetes or irritable bowel syndrome, you might want to avoid the Whole30 diet.
Though peanuts and peanut butter aren't allowed on the Whole30 program, other nuts and nut butters are. Cashew butter is loaded with nutrients like healthy fats, magnesium, manganese, and copper. Its smooth, sweet taste pairs well with apples ( 1 ).
You can eat tree nuts like almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, hazelnuts, macadamias, pecans, pistachios and walnuts. It also means you're free to eat and drink butters and milks made from those nuts, provided they don't include other ingredients from the banned list. That's a lot to remember.
Are you in the mood for a wedge smothered in Classic Vinaigrette, Bacon & Honey Mustard, Caesar & Garlic Croutons, Long Clawson Stilton & Blue Cheese, or Garlic Mayonnaise & Grana Padano? The choice is yours… So, book your table, pick your steak cut, and drizzle on your wedge dressing!
Lettuce actually needs a good amount of airflow, in addition to a bit of moisture (but not too much!), in order to stay crisp. That's why restaurants store their lettuce in special perforated bins that allow for air circulation while it's held in the fridge.
In addition to its appealing mix of cooling and creamy elements, one of the hallmarks of a wedge salad is its total simplicity—overcomplicating it in an attempt to make a version that stands out from the crowd flies in the face of what this salad should be, which is dead easy.
There is concern that the body does not easily absorb raw fruits and vegetables. Generally speaking, this has proved false. People who eat salad regularly are much more likely to fulfill their recommended intake of nutrients. Eating a salad every day is healthy because you get vital nutrients, fiber, and good fats.
It was my nonno Oscar, who created the Wedge Salad in the 1930s right at Delmonico's. Today the Wedge Salad is one of the most celebrated salads in the world, it is on almost every menu, from diners to fine dine establishments.
A wedge makes work easier by increasing the force applied to the object, although it applies the force over a shorter distance. This gives the wedge a mechanical advantage greater than 1.
A wedge is a triangular shaped tool, a portable inclined plane, and one of the six simple machines. It can be used to separate two objects or portions of an object, lift up an object, or hold an object in place.
During the 1970s, steakhouses popularized the Classic Wedge Salad, and it's still a favorite with their patrons today. Most steakhouse restaurants now put a signature touch on their wedge salad, some diced avocado or a sprinkle of nuts, but the simple ingredients of a wedge salad continue to shine.
It's a refreshing accompaniment that is meant to complement the rich flavours of our steak with its cold, crisp texture and fresh taste. Not only that, but iceberg lettuce has been shown to support digestion, helping your body to break down heavy carbohydrates and proteins.
