JUMP TO RECIPE

This is the perfect lunch idea. The best part about this salad is that it can be prepared in 30 minutes. I make it when I have little time but want to eat healthily. This is also great for meal prep, but if you are prepping it, please make sure not to add the dressing until you are ready to eat to prevent it from getting soggy.
