Store For Four (Or Five) Days
Screw it! Make sure the lid is tight and refrigerate your salad creation for up to 5 days. That’s right, you can layer up lunches for the entire week all on Sunday night ladies. Just remember – proteins, cheeses and soft fruits/veggies go right on top the day of.
Get Crazy Creative
Clearly I love a good salad, so the more creative the better. I tossed a few things around in the kitchen just for you boo, so here are my three favorite creations. Try them out and don’t forget to load all the ingredients in the order listed:
Santa Fe Fun

1/4 cup black beans
2 oz grilled chicken
1 oz cheddar cheese
1/4 cup corn
1/3 medium avocado

Serve with a serving of tortilla chips on the side. Or if you want a little crunchy, crush them on top.

2 Tbls sesame ginger dressing (or comparable)
1/4 cup celery
1/4 cup red peppers
1/4 cup edamame (cooked and shelled)
