41 Easy Meal Prep Salads You Can Eat All Week

Ready to meal plan a few salads so you can eat them throughout the days to come? These healthy meal prep salads are great for work, home lunch, and for kids to pack up.

We could all do with eating more veggies. And salads are a great way to do just that.

But salads involve a lot of chopping and dicing. And who has time to do that every.single.day?

That’s where meal prep salads come in handy. Prep once and have your salads ready for a week.

So, I’ve compiled a list of salads that can be meal-prepped. They’re not only healthy but taste great too.

To keep your salads fresh longer, it’s important to store them in airtight food storage containers. I recommend these glass food storage containers because they’ll keep your food fresh longer than plastic ones.

However, if you find glass containers too heavy to lug around, these BPA-free plastic food storage containers are also a good option.

Salads are good and all. But more often than not, salads involve lots of chopping.

That’s because you are using a variety of tasty ingredients. Like shredded rotisserie chicken, hard-boiled eggs, crunchy bell peppers, sweet cherry tomatoes, and creamy cheddar cheese.

Now, you will still need to cut up some veggies. But not a whole lot- just cherry tomatoes, half a bell pepper, and an avocado.

To make cutting your avocado easier, and to save your fingers, you can simply use an avocado slicer like this.

Chicken breasts are classic diet food. That’s because they’re high in protein yet low in calories.

So if you’re trying to lose weight, you’re probably eating lots of chicken breasts. But after a while, chicken breasts, broccoli, and brown rice get kind of blah.

But that’s not all; this Salad is packed with sweet veggies like carrots and beets. This helps offset the bitterness of the baby spinach.

And you’re topping your Salad with toasted pumpkin seeds for crunch. And the crowning glory is the apple cider vinegar dressing.

Mix your shallots and olive oil in a blending jar. Then add the rest of your ingredients.

Puree until smooth using an immersion blender. I recommend this immersion blender here.

It’s pretty powerful, and it comes with a blending jar and whisk.
