I make this Mexican bean salad a lot in the summer.

You could make soup and eat that through most of the week.

I asked a similar question last week and someone mentioned quinoa with horseradish which intrigued me. I just picked some up and am going to try a haroset style quinoa with apples,honey,nuts and add some horseradish. Hopefully it works out lol.

well, no work today due to snow. Went to my parents for dinner yesterday so I stole some left overs lol

Also, to use up my arugula, I added cannellini beans, salt, pepper and dejone vinaigrette VERY good. I will look at your recommendation

Re: looking for lucnch ideas HELP!!!

Not a salad recommendation, but what about soup? I tend to make a big pot of soup Monday night. We eat some for dinner and then I bring it for lunch the rest of the week or at least through Thursday.
This week I made chicken tortilla, but I've also made chicken noodle with a bunch of veggies, minestrone, lentil.

I also have bought pesto sauce and then made some pasta, threw in mozzarella and red peppers (it could be any veggies) and ate it as pasta salad most of the week.

How about a turkey or chicken chili? You can eat that for the week. I did that a few months ago and it was a time and money saver for us.

I also did this one pan chicken and veggie which was good: One Pan Meal Prep

You can also swap out Veggies, Ive done Cauliflower, Zucchini & squash. I also seasoned the chicken differently, with ranch, BBq or avocado yogurt dressing.


Turkey burger for lunch with sweet potato fries. you can use mushrooms instead of buns or butter leaf lettuce. Chicken salad lettuce wraps or other variation of chicken wrap.
