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 bacon, soft boiled eggs, this truly amazing green goddess dressing, and finished off with some fabulous crispy cashews that take it over the top. You’re absolutely going to love it!
