Those look yummy, especially the second one. I miss Mexican food (American style), can probably make a decent pico de gallo to go in there. I know a lot of people on here don’t understand what i mean, am not sure what I do beyond putting the question, in short form, in bold print. Thanks for coming back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-protein-vegetarian-jar-salad-recipes-needed#post-2049410 Wed, 31 Jul 2019 20:28:11 +0000 L'Abeille 2049410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wasn't sure if you were looking for actual recipes rather than formulas... you got so many responses that I bowed out. But here are 3 of my faves (I see you have salade Nicoise covered now).</p> <p>1. Greek style salad: feta cheese and white kidney beans or chickpeas; tomato, cucumber, onion +/- peppers or celery; lemon and olive oil vinaigrette; basil or oregano (can add pasta)</p> <p>2. Mexican style salad: corn, black beans, salsa and/or tomatoes, cilantro, avocado, lime (can add rice or pepitas)</p> <p>3. What I think of as a chop salad or winter salad: what I have of cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, celery, green apple; cubed cheddar cheese, sunflower seeds; raisins or craisins; mayonnaise</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-protein-vegetarian-jar-salad-recipes-needed#post-2049391 Wed, 31 Jul 2019 19:47:43 +0000 Anonymous 2049391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Day 3, and the avocado is still ok, very slightly browned at edges is all. Thanks for the idea </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-protein-vegetarian-jar-salad-recipes-needed#post-2049319 Wed, 31 Jul 2019 17:05:16 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2049319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LAR, exactly. Those words (or similar, since I’m not vegan) are the key to the rabbit hole warren I posted from! Starting to find my way out now, maybe, with this first effort. </p> <p>TG, yep, those are frequently listed in the sites I mentioned in my original post, and yep, elpgal gave pretty much the classic formula, a combo of all the ones I’d been looking at. </p> <p>Suntiger, thanks for sharing!! Those look good. How did the oil + avocado work out? I had given up on this thread giving me anything other than what I had started out saying I had too much of—lists of “all sorts of possibilities” and yet more options and combinations. That was making my head explode so I backed off. And look what happened in the meantime :). I came back to post what I’d figured out and there’s you with just the right stuff. Thanks for posting 2 recipes. </p> <p>I finally decided that since I’d been intending to make salad Nicoise forever and meaning to get going on jar salads even longer, I should put my salad nicoise in a jar. I found several recipes on line, cheated on the dressing by using mustard dill sauce that cake with my smoked salmon as the base, and ta-daaaah. My son was nonplussed. I pointed out how long I’ve been talking about doing this and he said “you’re going to eat them? I thought you were taking out compost” No nicoise for him! (He didn’t want it anyway). Lol. </p> <p>Anyway, Bon Appetit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-protein-vegetarian-jar-salad-recipes-needed#post-2048428 Sun, 28 Jul 2019 13:34:28 +0000 Anonymous 2048428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok first attempt at this!

Seriously it is everywhere. If it weren't for herbicide/pesticide residue, I would happily eat. I reluctantly pony up $4 for a tiny bunch at our farmer's market. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-protein-vegetarian-jar-salad-recipes-needed#post-2046533 Mon, 22 Jul 2019 03:08:40 +0000 rachylou 2046533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, maybe I should try an Asian market...! Never thought to find it in one. Dang. I don’t suppose I could try a Mexican market as well. Thx! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-protein-vegetarian-jar-salad-recipes-needed#post-2046515 Mon, 22 Jul 2019 02:06:08 +0000 Jules 2046515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honesty just about combination of sweet (dried or fresh fruit, roasted beets), nuts and/or seeds, and cheese will be tasty and can be quite filling. I find feta cheese to be pretty versatile for these, but chèvre or blue cheese also work. Smoked cheddar, pecan/walnut and sliced apple is a good combination.<br /> Another formula is vegetables plus chickpeas (or another preferred legume) and boiled egg. Greens with grated carrot, chickpeas, sundried tomato and egg is a good one.<br /> Hey Racheylou, around here purslane is sometimes available by surprise in my garden, or alternately sold off a blanket on the sidewalk in Chinatown! I haven’t actually tasted it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-protein-vegetarian-jar-salad-recipes-needed#post-2046402 Sun, 21 Jul 2019 19:20:58 +0000 elpgal 2046402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Protein: cubed tofu, Indian paneer, chickpeas, red quinoa, black bean<br /> Crunch/healthy fat: bacon bits, sunflower seeds, pepitas, almonds, olives, avocado<br /> Leafy stuff: spinach arugula, broccoli slaw<br /> Veggies: red pepper, broccoli, cauliflower, cubes, tomatoes</p> <p>I prep all these and load up a jar everyday.

The recipe calls for purslane, an avocado lime salsa, roasted chickpeas, and puréed chickpeas. I’ve been faking it because purslane is not a thing, lol (I do intend to send away for seed tho). But so good!</p> <p>ETA: Sorry! Not chickpeas: White Kidney beans. I have chickpeas on the brain. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-protein-vegetarian-jar-salad-recipes-needed#post-2046270 Sun, 21 Jul 2019 12:31:45 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2046270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diet and exercise go together. We all know that. I’m finding this to be even more true than I realized. I want to work out every afternoon, but because I don’t have good lunches prepped, I wind up nibbling random stuff and not having enough in the tank for a good workout. </p> <p>Jar salads caught my attention a long time ago; I had half a dozen Mason jars in Tampa for just this purpose. Unfortunately, I never used them. I’ve been collecting yogurt jars for a few months now. It’s time to put them to use. </p> <p>There is an embarrassment of riches in these recipes online. A couple of times I stocked the kitchen with things listed in general formulae for jar salads, but continued to nibble, and a bunch of them got pitched. What I really need are a couple sure bets. I’ll put them together mechanically, and be so happy when I have them ready to go at lunchtime. I don’t need super high protein, but higher than your average Caesar. </p> <p><b>What are your favorite recipes for jar salads?</b> </p>
