BLT White Bean Salad
Hey gang!
This week’s meal prep salad is one of my favorites I’ve done in the series so far, it’s basically taking a BLT sandwich and turning into a protein & veggie filled white bean salad.
It’s loaded with crispy bacon (or tempeh if making the vegan version), kale, cherry tomatoes, and tossed in a high-protein, herby green goddess dressing.
This salad also works really well when rolled into a wrap if you’re looking to pack a lunch for work.
Macros along with low-calorie & high-protein versions are at the bottom of this post.
I hope you enjoy!
