Salads
Salads you would actually eat for lunch. This collection has classic chicken salad, egg salad, tuna salad, pasta salad, a Mediterranean chickpea bowl, and mason jar salads that stay crisp for days.
Every recipe states how long each salad keeps in the fridge and which ingredients to pack separately so nothing goes soggy.

Questions cooks actually ask
How do I keep meal prep salads from getting soggy?
Dressing at the bottom of the jar, greens at the top, and nothing wet touching the leaves until you shake it. The jar salad recipe maps the exact layer order.
Can I make chicken salad ahead?
Yes, up to 3 days refrigerated. Add the crunchy elements like celery or nuts within a few hours of serving if you want them sharp.
