Please know that I am serious about this fast. I love olives and salsa and like them on avocado. Is this acceptable? The recipes given r great!

Hi Jennifer! Avocado and olives are fine – salsa is ok too but you must check the ingredients. A lot of packaged salsa contains added sugar and ingredients that are not Daniel Fast friendly. Your best bet is to make it from scratch. Hope this helps!

My husband and I were having a tough time finding beautiful, nutrient-dense meals while we are currently doing the Daniel fast and your list has made it SO EASY. THANK YOU!! <3
