25 mins prepServes 5
Transform your weekly meal prep with this vibrant and easy Caesar-style salad, designed for grab-and-go lunches. This recipe focuses on making a delicious, thick dressing and assembling five individual salads for a week of healthy eating.
1. Take three giant hearts of romaine and chop them into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
2. Prepare the dressing: In a bowl, combine 1 cup of mayonnaise, 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan, the juice from one aggressively squeezed lemon, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, a splash of Worcestershire sauce, two cloves of minced garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon of anchovy paste (optional, but recommended). Season with salt and pepper.
3. Whisk all dressing ingredients together until well combined and thick. If you prefer a runnier dressing, add a splash of water or milk until desired consistency is reached.
4. To assemble five individual salads for meal prep, line up five containers.
5. Layer the ingredients in each container in the following order:
a. Dressing at the bottom.
b. Whole cherry tomatoes.
c. Bacon bits.
d. Chopped romaine lettuce.
e. Sliced purple onions.
f. Croutons on top.
6. Cap the containers and refrigerate them. These salads are now ready to grab throughout the week.
