Did you make a New Years Resolution to eat more vegetables? Or do you just need some quick lunch and dinner ideas. Either way, it’s in the bag…the chopped salad bag.
Use a chopped salad kit to meal prep ready-to-eat salad jars. To make your salad jars last, always add your salad dressing to the bottom of the jar and the salad greens at the top. Add protein (chicken, beef, pork, shrimp or beans) and grains (rice, orzo, couscous, quinoa) to complete your meal in minutes.
