Easy to Meal Prep

I love easy recipes, and this vegan taco salad is one of the most simple. If you don’t have time to make lunch during the week or work in an office setting, meal prep this salad to go so you can enjoy it all week. Add all ingredients (minus the dressing) to a jar and keep stored in the fridge for up to a week.

The dressing makes a large portion so that will naturally be prepped and can be used closer to 2 weeks.
