Salads don’t have to be boring! Here’s a delicious and hearty Orzo Salad Meal Prep for you to try this week! This orzo meal prep is the perfect cold work lunch as its filling and packed with healthy goodness! No boring iceberg lettuce here.
In a pot, cook the orzo as directed on the packaging.
While the orzo is cooking, shred the chicken, dice the onion, cut up the spinach. Make your dressing if you’re making your own, I recommend this lemon basil vinaigrette.
When the orzo is done, combine the orzo with the chicken, onion, spinach, chickpeas, and peas. Sprinkle in some asiago cheese.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Notes
I pack my dressing on the side so I can decide how much I feel like putting in that day. For more flavour, you can cook your orzo in chicken or vegetable broth instead of water.I prefer taking my orzo meal prep 10-20 minutes before I’m ready to eat so it’s chilled but not too cold.Calories do not include the dressing
