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 MAGIC ELIXIRS™, then finished off with some fabulous crispy cashews that take it over the top. You’re absolutely going to love it!

That was my late husbands favorite salad – love your take on it 👌🏻
So happy that you love it!!!
Can I use anchovy paste instead of anchovies?
Anchovy paste can have sugar in it, making it non compliant. So really, whole anchovies are best if you are doing Whole30.
