Healthy, Quick & Easy College Cookbook: No-Lettuce Chopped Salad

Posted By Dana White, MS, RD, ATC On In | No Comments

There’s no law that says a salad must have lettuce. This mixture of pantry staples is a high-protein alternative to the typical chopped salad, and it lasts much longer in the fridge so it’s perfect for meal prep. It also has 8 grams of hunger-fighting fiber per serving – that’s 1/3 of the daily requirement. Swap cherry tomatoes in for bell pepper if they’re in season. This is one of my top 10 favorite recipes from the Healthy, Quick + Easy College Cookbook!
