The Ultimate Protein-Packed Lunch Salad

11/16/2015 by The Mama Maven

When I work out of the house, I like to make sure I take a lunch packed with protein. Salads are perfect for this. I created this fun salad using chicken, ham, feta cheese, and sunflower seeds.

I like to set up all my ingredients first. It also helps me to portion control.

Portion out your ingredients!I added 2 small heads of sweet romaine lettuce to my container. and then added my ingredients.

I don’t add dressing when I pack a salad to work — who wants a soggy salad? Take a smaller container, add your favorite dressing and then lace your salad with it. I like to put my salad in containers with snug covers, so I can add dressing and really “shake it up”!
