Kale and Lentil Salad with Beets & Feta
This Kale and Lentil Salad with Beets & Feta is the perfect meal-prep option for November. I love having a fresh salad during the fall and winter, but I crave something heartier that incorporates lentils or whole grains for added substance. This salad perfectly balances the robust, earthy flavors of kale and lentils, the natural sweetness of beets and carrots, and the savory, salty notes of olives and feta. The lemon vinaigrette adds a bright, zesty tang that combines all the flavors, making this salad refreshing and satisfying.
Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad with Hard-Boiled Eggs
Made with a base of shaved Brussels sprouts for a delicious crunch, and topped with hard-boiled eggs, this recipe comes together in minutes. It’s a great meal prep option because Brussels sprouts are hearty and last well in the refrigerator.
Hard-boiled eggs can be prepared ahead and they give this salad a boost of protein and healthy fats. Finally, we love to include chopped walnuts in this recipe because they add a wonderful nutty flavor and make this Brussels sprouts salad even more satiating.
Simple Autumn Roasted Cauliflower
Cauliflower is a great source of vitamin C, and roasting it brings out a delicious nutty flavor. Try this recipe with a lean protein like grilled salmon for a perfect autumn or early winter meal.
Happy Cooking!
