20 Hearty Salads You Can Meal Prep This Week

The worst thing about eating a salad for lunch (or dinner for that matter) is that, all too often, you wind up feeling hungry again just a few hours later, your stomach rumbling just in time for your afternoon meeting or bedtime routine. The answer, it seems, is a heartier salad. Add meat, beans, quinoa, or grains. Opt for more vegetables, healthy fats, or filling vegetables like sweet potatoes. Your salads can absolutely be a full meal—and definitely don’t have to be boring. To prove it, we rounded up 20 hearty salads that you can meal prep this week for a healthier, more exciting meal time.
