Roasted Red Pepper & White Bean Caprese Salad

A high-protein, meal prepable spin on a classic Caprese salad.

Hey gang!

This week’s meal prep salad is a riff on what I think is one of the world’s most perfect dishes, Caprese salad. Roasted red peppers, fresh tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, & more get tossed in a super simple but killer creamy balsamic dressing.

Macros along with low-calorie & high-protein versions are at the bottom of this post and I give a few tips on the best way to make thick & creamy dressings like the one in the video below.

I hope you enjoy!
