  • Food Prep: Sunflower Crunch Salad with Turkey

A few months ago, I picked up my first bagged salad kit. You know the ones, with the dressing and toppings all included?

Well, I immediately fell in love with the first one I tried. It's called Sunflower Crunch, and it includes a sweet onion dressing, bacon bits, and sunflower seeds. It was delicious! However, I ended up throwing away more than half the dressing because it was simply too much. I'm not a fan of overdressed, soggy salads. I liked the flavor of the dressing though, so I continued to buy a bag now and then throwing away this extra dressing every time.

Then the idea hit me -- why not stretch the dressing by adding another bag of veggies? More salad... no waste... win-win!

The next time I bought a bag I also picked up some coleslaw mix which is just ready to eat shredded green cabbage and carrots. That day I came home, mixed everything, and had a giant bowl of salad awesomeness.

Now, the salad is yummy enough, but for lunch, I need a bit more protein. So I decided to add a little pre-cooked turkey and viola!

Lunch prep in minutes! It doesn't get any easier than this, people -- three ingredients, no cooking, and four ready-made lunches for about $10!
