Delish no-cook meal prep recipe

CrossFit Winter Park • February 12, 2025

We've got a really simple but delicious grab-and-go salad recipe for you today.

Meal prep plays a big role in sticking to your nutrition game plan, and this recipe will help make your life a lot easier AND stay on track with your goals.

It's perfect for bringing to work and you can customize it based on your taste and what veggies you have on hand. Feel free to experiment because you can't go wrong!

Also - you can amp up the protein quotient on this by adding your choice of protein just before serving. Try shrimp, chicken, cooked beef, black or pinto beans or Turkey.

Store this as-is, without the dressing or protein, otherwise, it could get soggy.
