rainbow salad

I’m a big fan of meal prepping salads for the week — there’s something about the crunch and the fact that they last a long time. Ha! However, I do need to mix it up from time to time so this week I came up with the rainbow salad — full of color and super healthy!

Ingredients (adjust for how many servings you need)

  • Kale, chopped (~1 C)
  • Arugula (~1/2 C)
  • Shredded carrots (~1/3 C)
  • Broccoli, chopped (~1/3 C)
  • Tomatoes, small (~1/3 C)
  • Yellow pepper, chopped (~1/4 C)
  • Picked red onion (~1/4 C)
  • Chicken, chopped (1/2 C)
    • I used rotisserie chicken to make it easy!
  • Hummus (~2 Tb)
    • I like Miami Twist brand Truffle Hummus.

Directions

  • Pile it all in a meal-prep container and you’re set! I like to keep the ingredients in separate sections to create the rainbow effect.
  • For dressing, water down the hummus until it has the consistency that you like. Easy peasy!

According to ChatGPT, this meal has the following per serving:

You can mix and match this with any colorful veggies. Let me know in the comments if you try it.
