A culinary preparation used to enhance the flavor and texture of leafy greens and other salad components, formulated to adhere to the dietary restrictions prescribed by the Whole30 program. These preparations typically exclude ingredients such as added sugar, dairy, soy, grains, legumes, and alcohol. For example, a vinaigrette made with olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs aligns with these guidelines.
These compatible dressings offer a crucial element of compliance and palatability to the restrictive eating plan. They facilitate adherence by providing flavor diversity and improving the overall enjoyment of meals, thereby increasing the likelihood of sustained participation in the program. Historically, simple oil and vinegar mixtures served as the primary dressings, evolving over time to incorporate more complex flavor profiles using allowed ingredients.
