Ingredients:
• 2 tbsp yogurt
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
Instructions:
1. In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and white wine vinegar to make your creamy dressing.
2. In a large sealable jar or container, pour the dressing in first to keep it at the bottom.
3. Layer in the salad ingredients in this order:
- Salami
- Cheddar cubes
- Olives
- Cucumber
- Cherry tomatoes
- Red onion
- Red pepper
- Lettuce leaves
- Croutons on top (to keep them crunchy)
4. Seal the jar and refrigerate until lunchtime.
5. When ready to eat, give the jar a really good shake to distribute the dressing, then enjoy straight from the jar or tip into a bowl.
Healthy Swaps & Tips:
Swap salami for grilled chicken breast or a boiled egg for a lighter option.
Make it veggie by leaving out the meat and adding chickpeas or tofu cubes.
Add sunflower or pumpkin seeds for a nutritious crunch.
Storage & Meal Prep:
Keeps well in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Assemble in the morning or the night before for a quick, no-hassle lunch. Keep the croutons separate until ready to eat if storing longer than a day.
Ideal For:
Busy workers, school lunch packers, or anyone who likes a no-mess, no-fuss way to enjoy a salad on the go.
