The February recipe of the month is more of a ‘meal’ mixed with a food prep idea -- it’s a jam packed salad that is great for those office lunches! I love food prepping this because it’s super easy to get together, it is loaded with so much nutrients and goodness for you, and it’s a tasty way to fill you up without feeling guilty. Super good for lunch in the office, but definitely a great dinner option as well.
What I use:
Grilled chicken — I usually will cook some chicken in my Instant Pot, but if I’m having an extremely busy week I will buy pre-cooked chicken (yes I know this isn't always the best, but sometimes life happens and the cooking gets delayed)
Lettuce — I will try to spruce up my lettuce choices and combine some: typically there is always an iceberg in there, but I love adding spinach and kale as well
Sliced hard boil eggs — huge fan of eggs! Easy to hard-boil and cut up
Sliced up tomatoes
Sliced up avocado
Cheese — sometimes cubed, sometimes shredded. Typically I will go for a feta or a goat cheese, but sometimes I like to sprinkle parmesan
Chopped up bacon — depending on how I’m feeling. I will always cook up my own bacon, often times turkey bacon, and crumble up for some extra flavor
Dressing — typically an oil and vinegar to keep it on the easy side and let the flavors of the salad come thru
Pack in the container of your choice!
It’s simple, yet satisfying — tasty, yes good for you — and overall a solid choice to look into for your future meal prepping! Hope you enjoy :)
