Helpful Tips:

Use store-bought boiled eggs. You can certainly boil a half dozen eggs at the start of the week or you can buy already boiled eggs. Both ways are convenient, but if you’re lazy…I mean busy like me, store-bought makes throwing together this salad so much easier!

Cook bacon for the week! Whip up a full package of bacon for a quick protein/fat salad topping throughout the week! This recipe is quick but will be even quicker if your prep the bacon “bits” ahead of time! Save leftover bacon in an air tight container in the fridge and toss onto your salads cold or heated up in the microwave or air fryer.

Make a big batch of dressing! The red wine vinaigrette dressing is super simple to make, but for a quick grab and go kind of recipe, just double or triple the dressing recipe and store the rest of the dressing in a mason jar in the fridge for up to a week! You could also absolutely use any store bought dressing like this balsamic vinaigrette!
