Makes 4 servings:

- 1 avocado, diced
Sauce:
- 1/2 cup Whole30 Mayo (recipe at whole30.com)
- 2 Tbsp fresh dill, minced
- 2 Tbsp fresh chives, minced
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder

In a small bowl, whisk together all sauce ingredients. You can also do this in a food processor, pulsing a few times. Depending on desired consistency, you can add a teaspoon or two of water or unsweetened coconut milk to thin the sauce. In a separate bowl, combine chicken, grapes, and celery. Using a large spoon,combine salad mixture (except avocado) with sauce. Add avocado last, as to not smash it into guacamole salad.
7 Minute Salmon, @littlecoconutty
- Salmon fillet for each person
- Avocado oil

Season fish with a tiny bit of avocado oil (do not use excess oil or it can catch on fire), salt, and the seasoning of your choice. Flip so it’s skin up. Broil 6 inches under broiler for 4 mins. Pull out of oven and peel skin off and flip. Cook another 3 mins or until fish flakes.
Crock Pot Roast Beef, @aipxwhole30
- 1 Chuck Roast (3-4 pounds)
- 1 carton beef broth (make sure it has no sugar and only clean ingredients . Pacific Foods offers a great “bone broth”)
- 5 carrots, roughly chopped
- 1 onion, chopped into 1/4” pieces
- 3 cloves of garlic, smashed
- 3 pieces of rosemary, leaves removed from the stem

Bacon (or Prosciutto) Wrapped Asparagus, @cookathomemom
Serves 4
- 1 lb or 1 large bunch asparagus
- 4 slices bacon (no sugar added) or prosciutto
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp pepper
Preheat oven to 400. Wash and pat dry the asparagus. Separate into four equal sized bunches. Wrap each with a slice of bacon or prosciutto, overlapping as little as possible. This will prevent undercooked meatand allow as much fat to render as possible. Use a toothpick if necessary on the underside of each bunch to help hold the meat together. Lay each bunch on a slotted pan or use a cooling rack on top of a cookie sheet (this allows the fat to drip away from the bacon). Drizzle with olive oil. Place in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until the bacon is cooked well and the asparagus is crispy. Sprinkle with pepper and salt to taste and enjoy!
Cilantro Lime Sweet Potato Wedges, @Sarah.Eats.Clean
- 3 Sweet Potatoes
- Oil to coat potatoes
- ¼ cup cilantro, finely chopped
- Zest from 1 Lime
- Sea Salt
Wash sweet potatoes. Add the sweet potatoes to a large pot of cold salted water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook the potatoes until just tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and let cool until they can be handled. Cut potatoes into wedges. Try to keep all of your wedges about the same size. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and heat oven to 425°. Toss the potatoes, oil and sea salt to taste. Roast for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from oven and sprinkle with lime zest and cilantro. Serve warm.
