Are you team dense bean salad? This lady is! 🙋🏻‍♀️ They’re perfect for meal prepping lunch because the flavor only gets better the longer they sit and absorb the dressing. I like to toss in an entire bundle of kale, thinly sliced, to make the salad -even more- veggie-packed.
This is also a fantastic option for cleaning out the fridge and all those random half containers of odds and ends (olives, sun-dried tomatoes, etc.) needing to be used up.
Here’s everything I used this week:
For the Salad Dressing:
▢ Extra virgin olive oil
â–˘ Red wine vinegar
â–˘ Dijon mustard
▢ Kosher salt
â–˘ Freshly ground black pepper
For the Salad:
▢ 1 can of chickpeas (drained, rinsed, and mashed)
â–˘ 1 can of cannellini beans (drained and rinsed)
â–˘ Shallot, thinly sliced
▢ Grilled chicken
â–˘ Chopped cucumber
â–˘ Kalamata olives
â–˘ Sun-dried tomatoes
▢ Scallions
â–˘ Dill
â–˘ Avocado
▢ Kale leaves, thinly sliced
I’ve got tons of homemade salad dressings on my website, feel free to search and use the one that looks best...
