Power Salad with Honey-Mustard Dressing


🥗Today I have not one … but TWO recipes for you!


It’s a salad-and-dressing combo that is a perfect make-ahead lunch.


You can prep this in a mason jar or reusable container – and it will keep in the fridge for 2 days.


Protein-Packed Power Salad

(serves 1)


● 3 big handfuls of baby spinach

● 2 Tbsp honey-mustard dressing (recipe below)

● 1 2.5 oz (70 g) pouch tuna in water

● ½ cup (80 g) canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed

● 1 medium carrot, shredded

● 3-5 grape tomatoes, halved

Toss the spinach and dressing in a bowl, then add the tuna, chickpeas, carrot, and tomatoes. Serve immediately or store well-covered in the refrigerator for 2 days.


Honey-Mustard Dressing

(makes 8 tablespoons)


● 1 clove garlic, minced

● 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

● 1½ tsp Dijon mustard

● ½ tsp honey

● Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste (1-2 pinches each)

● ⅓ cup (80 ml) extra-virgin olive oil


Whisk the garlic, vinegar, mustard, honey, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in oil.
