6 Paleo Dishes You Didn't Know You're Already Eating

Guacamole. As long as you don't scoop it up with tortilla chips, guacamole is 100-percent paleo-friendly. Use it to top meat or to complement crudité.

Grilled Salmon with Mango Salsa. Fish, fresh fruits, and fresh vegetables all play an important role in the paleo diet, making this delicious dish a good choice for paleo adherents.

Carrot Soup. Lots of vegetable soups are paleo-friendly; just be sure you choose stock-or broth-based soups since creamy ones often have dairy (which isn't allowed on the paleo diet).

Chicken Wings. Good news for wing-lovers; chicken wings can be part of a paleo diet. Just be sure they're cooked in a healthy oil, aren't battered or fried, and are topped with a homemade sauce. That way, you won't be eating any refined sugar or processed ingredients.

Quinoa. Since paleo adherents don't eat cereal grains, quinoa (which is actually a seed, not a grain) is a great choice. Cook it and use it just as you would rice.

Omelets. Eggs are a good source of paleo-friendly protein as long as you skip the dairy (so no cheese!). Load your omelet up with veggies instead.
