For The Salad ½ cup quinoa - or 1 cup cooked quinoa 1 cup water - or vegetable broth 1 can chickpeas 1 can black beans 2 eggs 1 cucumber ½ red onion - chopped 2 cups greens - lettuce, romaine, baby spinach 1 cup cherry tomatoes 1 carrot - shredded or ribbons Parsley - basil, or salad cress.

Dressing 4 tablespoons lemon juice 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard 1 clove garlic - minced 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey ½ teaspoon sea salt ¼ teaspoon black pepper.

Alternative dressing 2 servings turmeric tahini dressing. Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark. Instructions In a small pot, add salted water or vegetable broth and bring it to a boil. Add the quinoa note 1 and cook on medium-low heat until all the liquid is absorbed.

Allow to cool off. In another small pot, add cold water and add the eggs. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and cook for minutes depending on how you like your boiled eggs.

Remove from the heat, rinse and peel the shells off. Slice them in half and let them cool down. Rinse the black beans and chickpeas. Cut the cucumber into chunks, cut the onion, dice the cherry tomatoes, and cut the carrots into ribbons or shred them.

Combine all the dressing ingredients in a small jar. Cover it with a lid and give it a good shake. Assembling the Salad On a plate: Add all ingredients, top with some fresh parsley or salad cress, add the dressing, and serve. Assembling the salad in a jar: Split the ingredients into two jars I used these ¾ liter jars — they hold about 3 cups.

Start with the dressing, followed by chickpeas, black beans, cucumbers, cooked quinoa, cherry tomatoes, eggs, carrots, onions, and salad. When you are ready to serve, empty the jar's content on a plate, mix well with a fork and enjoy! Notes Note 1 : Quinoa is coated in saponin, which can give it a bitter taste.

Soak the seeds for a few hours or overnight and rinse with cold water before cooking. Or buy pre-rinsed quinoa to save time. Calories: kcal Carbohydrates: 98 g Protein: 35 g Fat: 25 g Sugar: 14 g.

Here is a quick list of veggies that are ideal for meal prepping for your coming week:. Meal prepping for a vegetarian diet is quite simple. Here is a few tips to make vegetarian meal prep easier:. Choose meals that are easy to prepare Look for vegan and vegetarian meals that require minimal prep work, such as salads, soups, stir-fries, and casseroles.

Invest in meal-prep containers Invest in a few good-quality containers that you can use to store your pre-made meals. We tend to prefer glass containers for meal prep because they are safer to reheat compared to plastic, and they are also easier to clean up. Make extra When cooking vegetarian meals, make extra so that you can store some in the refrigerator or freezer for future use.

Invest in a slow cooker Slow cookers make it easier to make large batches of veggie stews and soups that can be stored for later. Use your leftovers creatively Vegetarian leftovers can be repurposed into new meals like veggie burgers, burritos, or omelets. Prepare your sauces in advance Save time by preparing sauces and dressings in advance.

Store them in mason jars with tightly fitting lids and keep them in your refrigerator. Use frozen vegetables Frozen vegetables are a great time-saver, as they are peeled, pre-cut, and require minimal preparation.

Frozen veggies work best for stir-fries, soups, and stew, but not so much for raw dishes like salads. Did you make one of these vegetarian meal prep recipes?
