To keep your salad fresh until lunchtime, store the dressing separately in a small container and add it just before eating. Use airtight containers to prevent moisture from wilting the greens, and consider layering ingredients with sturdier items like cucumbers or carrots at the bottom and greens on top.
Great protein options to add to your salad include grilled chicken, hard-boiled eggs, canned tuna or salmon, chickpeas, black beans, or tofu. These proteins not only enhance the flavor but also make the salad more filling and nutritious.
