Healthy salad jars are perfect for meal prep. Make 4 for 4 days!
ingredients:
3 Tbs rice vinegar
1 Tbs tamari or soy sauce
1 tsp sriracha or to taste
½ tsp ground ginger
1 tsp garlic powder
1 Tbs olive oil
1½ tsps toasted sesame oil
1 Tbs maple syrup
12 oz shelled edamame (frozen, thaw in boiling water for 5 min, pat dry)
1/½ cups cooked lentils
2 cups baby cucumber, small dice
2 cups red bell pepper, small dice
½ cup green onion, thinly sliced
1 cup cilantro, chopped
Sesame seeds
Juice of 1 medium lime
Salt to taste
Instructions
Whisk the rice vinegar, tamari, sriracha, ground ginger, garlic powder, olive oil, toasted sesame oil and maple syrup in a container with spout
Divide the rest of the ingredients into 4 and layer in 12 oz jars as follows: salad dressing, cucumbers, edamame, lentils, bell pepper, green onions, cilantro, sesame seeds and sprinkle with lime (don’t forget the lime!)
Seal tightly and refrigerate for 4 days, eating one a day - or more depending on the number of people
For serving, shake the jar well to combine all the ingredients
Notes
Serves 4 as a main or 8 as a side salad
I also added some BROL in mine - it is versatile and you can play around with it
Adapted from and thanks to cookingforpeanuts for the recipe
