No boring greens here! Check out these loaded lunchtime lettuce bowls and tasty dressings.
Are you back in the office, building school lunches, or gearing up for a savvy trip? Bringing your midday meals from home can reduce time, decrease food waste, and save money! But what to pack? If microwaves are out of the question and minimal prep is the name of the game, plant-based salads FTW! Although, we aren’t putting together any boring greens over here. In fact, we’re working with flavorful ingredients and crave-worthy dressings. If you want in on tasty, plant-based lettuce bowls, check out our list of vegan salads to pack for lunch.
5 Easy Vegan Salads to Pack for Lunch
Buffalo Chickpea: To prepare the Buffalo chickpeas, simply warm canned chickpeas with Buffalo sauce and a touch of vegan butter. To build the salad, start with a base of chopped romaine. Next, add diced red onion, diced celery, and the prepared chickpeas. Top with Non-Dairy Ranch Dressing for a tasty meal.
Veggie Antipasto: Top mixed greens with sliced olives, cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onion. Add in hearts of palm, halved artichokes, and cannellini beans. Drizzle Sundried Tomato & Garlic Vinaigrette atop the vegan salad for a refreshing dish.
Quinoa Caprese: Begin with a bed of greens. Add in cooked, chilled quinoa, freshly torn basil, halved cherry tomatoes, and cubes of vegan mozzarella or tofu. But don’t forget to salt those tomatoes! Finish off the dish with Balsamic with Olive Oil Vinaigrette and freshly cracked black pepper. Lunch is served.
Iceberg Wedge: Start by preparing the vegan bacon and breaking it into bits. Next, assemble the wedge base by cutting a head of iceberg lettuce into two to four sections or wedges. Top the lettuce with the vegan bacon bits, diced tomatoes, diced white onion, and Non-Dairy Ranch Dressing. Oh, you’ll want to pack a knife with this one.
Rustic Kale: First, roast up some cubed sweet potatoes. While those are roasting, grab a bottle of Sundried Tomato & Garlic dressing. Massage your chopped kale with the dressing until it is tender. Then, top the greens with the roasted sweet potatoes, diced sundried tomatoes, sunflower seeds, and sliced green onion.
