“I feel like I only have 5 healthy recipes. I need more variety!” “I get in a rut of eating the same thing every day.” “I spend 500 hours in the kitchen.”
The list goes on! I’m making it my mission to make meal prep more approachable. I’m here to show you that healthy eating doesn’t have to be boring. You can meal prep effectively without eating the same thing every week and without spending all day in the kitchen. Case in point: this pasta salad recipe that is perfect to make ahead! The entire recipe can be made in advance and if I’m being honest, tastes even better after marinating for a couple days. Instead of only adding basil like a traditional caprese salad, we’re upping the green factor with baby arugula and spinach. The cherry tomatoes add extra flavor, a pop of color, texture and nutrients! And don’t forget the mozzarella balls… they will be missed. 😉 Now let’s talk about this dressing. Ohhhh man I’m obsessed with this dressing. It’s my go-to balsamic dressing that you’ve seen time and time again here on EBF. I love the sweet and tangy flavor. As I mentioned before this pasta salad is great for meal prep. Follow my three simple steps below to make the salad, then divvy up into separate meal prep containers. Put in the fridge and enjoy for multiple days! Of course, this salad is also perfect for potlucks and parties! The recipe makes plenty and everyone loves it.
