3 Easy MEAL PREP Ideas for Summer Salad Recipes
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 май 2024
- These make-ahead, meal prep summer salad recipes are super easy and healthy! You guys know I'm a big fan of meal prep and while sometimes I do individual ingredient meal prep (check out my whole series of videos), other times I prefer to do a "make-ahead recipe" that's one big batch and enjoy it throughout the week. Especially during the summer months when I want to spend less time in the kitchen!
These meal prep ideas for summer salads are light and fresh, and there's a flavor combination for everyone to enjoy - from Cucumber Shrimp Salad to Mango Curry Chicken Salad and Mediterranean Chickpea Salad. Hope you enjoy!

Sometimes I do individual ingredient meal prep, and sometimes I do big-batch, make-ahead recipes to enjoy throughout the week. I talk about these two different approaches to meal prep in my cookbook. ;) Let me know if you guys like this type of video, and what theme of make-ahead recipes you'd like to see me make next! xo - Lisa
❤ Love this type of content!
Love this
I've been looking for no-low prep ideas, sometimes even easy prep is just too much. Things like melon & ham, smoked salmon avocado and ruccola, ... I could use more idea's for 'trow on a plate meals'
Love it! So empowering. I'm on the go a lot, so I'll listen to you on the video, planting seeds for action later. Then, when I need to review, I go back to your video.
Downshiftology wish you could make an video how to make salad and healthy food for having a endomitriosis 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I am loving these ideas!
The salads look great, I’m going to make the chicken mango curry today. Tip: Dressed salads may actually not keep that well in the fridge. They will not go bad, but will turn slimy/watery in very quickly, especially if there’s a cucumber in it. Chop them up and make the dressing ahead of time, but just don’t mix them, and just dress them before consuming:)
Salt your sliced/diced cucumbers with some kosher salt, toss and let drain in a colander for 30 minutes before incorporating into your salad. Keeps the cucumbers crunchy for days and avoids that watery slimy issue. Bonus, your cukes will also be perfectly seasoned. This method also works great on tomatoes and any other watery veg you'd like to include in your salad.
These salads are summer ready, I will be making the salads every week thank you.
Worked fine for me as meal.prep with them mixed.
Hi what is the 3rdmix im may mix of 1st salad
@@mzledastray2207I didn't know this tip. Thank you!
I made the Mediterranean chickpea salad for dinner tonight. It was so tasty and nutritious! I grilled some salmon and put that on top. Fantastic meal.
oh yum! I was thinking lunch but what a great idea to add a meat with that salad and have it for dinner!
Thank you Lisa! Just prepped curry chicken for tomorrow lunch , very easy , simple and healthy! ❤
Love your meal prep!
The curry chicken salad looks amazing
Recently received my cookbook for my birthday and can hardly wait to get started!!! Love your website, RUclips channel and recipes!!!
Thank you, I love everything about your videos. I can’t wait to make these. They look so refreshing, perfect for summer.
I made all of these for my weekly meal prep twice now, and I am so grateful to you! The mango curry is my favorite and I'm making it a third time for dinner tonight!
I just made the Mediterranean chickpea salad and it turned out awesome!! Thank you for all these easy recipes!
I made the chickpea and curry chicken salad this week! Great recipes -- very tasty.
Made the shrimp salad and chic pea, but yum! Used half plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream since that’s what I had. The left over dressing is going to be so good on tune or egg salad I decided!
Loved these chunkier hearty chopped salads. Would like to see more of this theme (lettuce-free meal prep salads) with non-mayo based dressings! Thanks so much for the wonderful recipes!
Definitely!! I might just have to make a meal prep video for Fall salads 😉
Yes! Something with squash or pumpkin.
And more beans please, for being great as a vegetable protein :)
I make a Fall Harvest Salad that you roast butternut squash w a drizzle of balsamic. It is delicious and a family favorite. I can’t wait for your Fall recipes n will be sure to try them too. I have your book and love it!
@Jessica, just use a yogurt or labne instead of mayo. Not much difference in flavor
Lisa, you are a treasure and a gift to the world. 🌎🌍🌏
Beautiful recipes! And I like your style...short, fast paced but full of tips and options!
I just watched this last week and I just finished making it for the second time. The chicken curry salad is so delicious. Thanks for the recipe 😊
I just have to tell you THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Your wonderful cook book has been a huge blessing in my life.
Happy to hear you're loving your new book ❤️
The chickpea salad is a fav of mine! I make it often… thank you, Lisa for all these salad ideas!
Yessss! Just in time for a hot Texas Summer. These look beautiful and flavorful. I’m going to make these staples in my fridge because I want to avoid the heat as much as possible during the summer. Thank you for variety and flavor.🙏🏾
This is the perfect way to enjoy your summer without having to worry about cooking in the kitchen!
Lisa, oh my, you must me a mind reader. Just yesterday my Mom and I were talking about meal prep and since it is getting hot here in Arizona, wanting to prep yummy fresh summer salads. And presto! This awesome video popped put today! Thank you, can’t wait to try these. ❤
Perfect timing! I hope you and your mom enjoy all the salads. Let me know which one is your favorite 😉
Loved the recipes. Here’s coming the winter, but now I have an alternative to my afternoons
The mango curry chicken salad was the best recipe I have tried in ages! The shrimp was also delicious. The chickpea salad is next on my list. Thanks for the great recipes.
Glad you enjoyed this mango curry chicken salad!
Looking forward to trying all three of these recipes!😋
Yum! Looks delicious and easy to make!
I made the shrimp salad this morning. It's so yummy! We love a durable salad.
Glad the shrimp salad was a hit!
I loooove this, definitely will do the three of them this week, thank you for the inspo
Absolutely fantastic! I’ve made all 3 thank you Lisa xo
Love this & you! Really missed your videos - you always brighten up our day. Thank you so much for that; hope you have a blessed one! 🙃
Looking forward to making these recipes 😋
I made the Mango Curry Chicken Salad, and all I can say is WOW! It really is next level! I want to put that dressing on everything now lol. It’s that good. Thank you so much for putting a unique spin on chicken salad!
So happy you loved it, Vicki! x
LOVE this content! I just discovered you this weekend. I just bough the ingredients to make all 3 of these for my husband and I to have on hand since we eat at different times. Also perfect cold food for summer!! Thank you for sharing your ideas.
I would love to see more cold meals for summer. Asian cold noddle salads?
Another great video, as ever.
About the chickpeas: it's really worth it to go for the fresh ones i.e. not canned.
Place 200 gr of "raw" chickpeas in a container full of water overnight. Add a teaspoon of cooking soda into the water. By morning the chickpeas will have doubled in size. Cook them in boiling water for an hour. Once they have softened enough, drain the hot water and shower them with cold water. This will make the exterior cloak start to peel off. Peel it from each chikpea by hand. It may sound like a lot of work but it does make a world of difference in taste.
Yes!! Always have loved your meal prep content! This is fantastic! 🙏🧡
Hope you enjoy these fresh ideas Wayne!
Need more of these salad ideas! Thank you!
I really like the recipe printing features! Thanks for the recipe.
Awesome! Thank you. I've just been living in a limbo on campus at the facility where I work which means I haven't been able to prepare my own meals in 6 months! I never thought I 'd miss cooking so much. I close on a house near my new work next week. I think I'll make the chick pea salad mason jar salad style as my first packed lunch.
I hope these salads bring back some meal prep inspo for you Joanne!
Ohhh thank you so much!! I was wanting some easy summer salads!! Awesome!!
Great salads. I love being able to go to my fridge, grab a quick meal, already prepped. Thanks Lisa.
It's such a good feeling to be able to grab something healthy in a flash 😉
All three of these look like winners to me! I’m eager to get started! Thank you so much, Lisa!
Excited to hear which one is your favorite Cheryl 😊
Woooow not a boring lettuce leaf in sight. This truly sparked my interest in salads again ❤️
No wilted leafy greens here!
Thank you so much for sharing!!! We live in South TX so Cold meals for lunches are a Blessing!!!

I love that last chickpea salad. My dad raves about it, too. So simple, yet so yummy. 💕
Glad it's a family favorite! 😊

Could you do one of these without cucumber?

Amazing salads! Shrimp salad is the my number one, but love other two for sure.
My mother use to make a chicken curry salad back in the 70s, but I haven’t been able to find it anywhere. It didn’t have mango in it, but it sounds like a tasty addition. I like to do things like this for potlucks with our church group.
I actually needed a vegetarian recipe for a contest in my school. thanks a lot😊😊😊😊😊😊
Love those salads thank you for sharing.❤❤❤
We love your meal prep videos. Thank you for the new one!

Yum! 😊 totally making that mango curry chicken salad for dinner this week as it's going to get hot here. 😊
Soon to be teacher here, and salads are just the easiest to consume when I’m on break and they fill you up plus I feel like I’m feeding my body decent foods that also taste good. So i’m definitely going to be making all these for my larger sides!
Hope you enjoy all these salad ideas!!
Can’t wait to try the Mediterranean and Shrimp salad. For future recipes series I would like to learn to make dark, lefty greens salads. Thanks 😊
Will keep that in mind! I've actually got a few of those in my cookbook as well 😉
I made the Mediterranean salad for a dinner party and it was a big hit! Thank you for another amazing recipe!
Glad that recipe was a hit!
Love this, thank you so much! I would love other one-dish recipes like grain bowls and pasta bowls.
Will keep that in mind! I can't do pasta bowls though as I'm celiac 😉
@@Downshiftology Lisa, don't you eat glutenfree pasta. There are many bean pastas out there.
❤fabulous ❤. Thank you. I’ll be making them all!

I did the curry mango chicken salad. I’m currently making my second batch absolutely delicious. Thank you for sharing the recipe.🤗
Was it actually good? Was it filling?
Yay been waiting for a meal prep video 🥰🥰🥰 thanks so much!!
Perfect timing! Enjoy 😉
Thank you so much for these - I can't wait to try them all! I would love to see some Mason Jar style that you could hopefully store for a week or at least a work week. Love you meal prep ideas and always get excited when I see you've posted a new video :D
Will definitely keep that in mind! Thanks for the feedback Robin 😊
OMG dear lisa, I make some of your recipes over and over because they are delicious. Today I made the mango curry chicken salad. OMG! We loved it!!!!! Thank you so much! xxx
Glad you enjoyed the mango chicken salad!
we love your creation liza
Lisa those look delicious. My favorite way to peal a mango is to cut off the sides then use a glass. Put the flesh inside the glass and the skin on the outside. Push down and let the glass do the work.
Yum, best recipes ever. Thank you
Love the book!
This is so helpful! Thank you. And please create more healthy summer dishes
I'm so excited. You did what I asked for. Thank you very much 😀
Can't wait for you to try these salad ideas!
I love the chicken curry salad recipe and might try it with chickpeas or tuna instead. Pescatarian options are my favorite
That will still be delicious!
Nice!! Thank you!
Perfect salads for the coming months! 😉👍🏻🥰
Hope you enjoy Yurima!
I am excited and challenged to try all of your recipes. I have been looking for easy tasty salad recipes. Thank you
