Salads are always a great way to work more vegetables into your diet. But while on Whole 30 many salads are off limits due to dairy, grains, legumes or sweetened salad dressings. And because Whole 30 is challenging enough without having to search for recipes, I have collected 12 Whole 30 Salads That Will Blow Your Mind…cause I am nice like that.

Let’ start with a complete meal salad: The Salmon Salad with Basil Vinaigrette! Crispy on the outside, tender on inside salmon set atop a bed of greens and veggies and drizzled in a flavor packed vinaigrette!

Yes, yes, and yes to this Tri-Colored Potato and Green Bean Salad with Rustic Pesto! It tastes like a dream, is  easy to make and it’s the perfect salad for social gatherings.

One of my favorite things about Whole 30 is that expands your cooking horizons. When you can’t reach for the grains, dairy and sugar you have to get creative, try new things, and explore flavors you may never have used before. All of these things make you a better cook in the process! For instance, wasabi! When was the last time you used wasabi in a recipe? Peas and Crayons hits it out of the ballpark with this Wasabi Spiralized Cucumber Salad with Avocado Dressing!
