Whether you are new to meal prepping or a longtime meal prepper, I think we can all agree that salads are one of the easiest, healthiest and tastiest options you can pop into the fridge for your meal prep needs. Enter these delicious meal prep salads! You can enjoy all of these as is or you can top them with additional protein for a meal-fulfilling meal. If not vegetarian, chicken breasts or tuna make a great protein option. If vegetarian, hard-boiled eggs or cheddar cheese are always excellent options. And if vegan, crispy tofu is always a winner!
