Grilled Vegetable Salads with Goat Cheese

Prepare a week's worth of lunches in about 10 minutes using a handful of ingredients from your local specialty grocery store. To save time, we're using a bag of frozen grilled and marinated vegetables, then adding big flavor with marinated goat cheese. If you want to bump up the protein, leftover chicken breast or salmon pair perfectly with this hearty salad.

  • Transfer 2 tablespoons dressing into each of 4 small lidded containers and refrigerate for up to 4 days.

  • The evening before taking your lunch to go, transfer one-fourth of the grilled vegetables (about 1 cup) to one of the meal-prep containers (the frozen vegetables will be thawed and ready to eat by lunchtime). Top the salad with dressing just before serving.

Tips

To make ahead: Refrigerate salads and dressing separately for up to 4 days. Add the grilled vegetables the night before serving.
