Meal salad for 4 days

This multi-day meal prep recipe is an example of why “food prep” or “meal prep” is so smart! You only need 30 minutes to prepare – the same time it would take to make a single serving. Instead, you’re preparing lunch for 4 days (or 2 days if you’re two adults eating together).

This meal salad is a definite favorite and easy to prepare. The salad is made with bean dip, quinoa, kale, baked root vegetables, salted almonds and diced apples. The ingredients stay fresh and delicious in the fridge even after several days.

Ingredients for the meal salad

The recipe for a multi-day meal salad can be varied endlessly. Here you will find a suggestion for ingredients, as well as what you can replace them with:

• Baked root vegetables: are cheap and taste great after a trip in the oven. You can also use just carrots or pumpkin instead.
• Quinoa: Is a tasty, protein-rich base. It is filling and tastes great. You can substitute with all types of lentils, grains or pasta.
• Bean dip: A classic, creamy and incredibly tasty dip. It's also delicious served in a sandwich or with vegetable sticks. If you want it extra easy, ready-made hummus is available in almost all supermarkets.
• Feta: Adds fat and some delicious creaminess to the salad. You can use parmesan or avocado instead.
• Apples: Adds something sweet and fresh. If you cut the apple cubes in advance, you can pour a little lemon juice over them, so they will keep longer. You can use other fruit or berries as an alternative here.
• Kale: Something crunchy that adds filling. You can use all kinds of lettuce or finely chopped cabbage as an alternative.
