- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved, optional
- 1 cup bell pepper thin strips
- 10 oz canned tuna drained (two 5 oz cans)
- 8 oz smoked salmon
- 8 oz deli turkey no sugar added
- 8 oz deli ham no sugar added
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken skin removed
- 6 oz cheddar cheese sliced
- 4 oz fresh mozzarella balls halved
- 4 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 lemon zest and juice
- 2 tbsp capers drained
- 1/2 cup dill pickles sliced
- 1/2 cup mixed olives
- 2 cups pork rinds
- 1/2 cup raw almonds
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing no sugar added
- kosher salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp fresh dill chopped
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
Instructions
- Prep the base: Rinse and dry romaine and spinach very well, then chop or tear into bite-size pieces. Slice cucumber, bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes (if using).
- Make lemon-dill dressing: Whisk olive oil, juice and zest of 1/2 lemon, 1 tablespoon chopped dill, a pinch of salt, and black pepper; set aside.
- Quick tuna salad: In a bowl, mix drained tuna with mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon Dijon, 1 tablespoon chopped dill, and black pepper until creamy.
- Turkey-cheddar roll-ups: Lay turkey slices on a board, top with cheddar, a thin line of Dijon, and a few pickle slices; roll tightly and cut in half.
- Ham-cucumber pinwheels: Spread softened cream cheese over ham slices, add cucumber sticks and green onion, roll up, and slice into bite-size pieces.
- Smoked salmon plate: Arrange smoked salmon with cucumber rounds, capers, a squeeze of lemon, and a drizzle of olive oil; season with pepper.
- Chicken avocado cups: Scoop avocados and slice; pile into lettuce cups with shredded rotisserie chicken, a little ranch, and black pepper.
- Mozzarella snack box: Pair mozzarella balls with olives, cherry tomatoes (optional), and bell pepper strips; drizzle with lemon-dill dressing.
- Assemble 4 boxes: Divide greens among containers, then add 2 to 3 chosen protein combos per box (about 5 to 6 oz protein total). Keep dressings in small cups.
- Add crunch and finish: Tuck in pork rinds or almonds just before eating so they stay crisp. Taste and add salt, pepper, or more lemon if needed.
Notes
- Portion protein first, then add fat for satiety: olive oil, avocado, olives, or cheese.
- Keep wet items in small cups so salads stay crisp for days.
- Use a sharp knife for clean roll-ups and pinwheels.
- If you need extra carbs, add a few tomato halves or bell pepper strips and track.
