Tessamae and Primal Kitchen make a number of Whole30 approved dressings that make salads an easy go to! Before, I would just use olive oil, garlic salt or sea salt and pepper with some lemon juice maybe. There are plenty of <a href=\"http:\/\/whole30.com\/2014\/10\/best-whole30-recipes-sauces-dressings-dips-oh\/\">make your own recipes<\/a> too, but I don\u2019t really care enough right now to take the time to make them haha\u2026<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Toddler Plate \u2013 Sometimes I just grab random things out of the fridge\u2026 avocado, boiled egg, cook some chicken apple sausage, nuts, side of fruit or veggie\u2026<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/01\/img_2857.jpg?w=297&h=397\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4917\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Lettuce Wrap Sandwiches – Another easy lunch, we love Applegate lunch meat and their salami, Primal Kitchen makes a great mayo, and you can find a dijon mustard too that would be Whole30 approved.
