This Chipotle & Cheddar Chopped Salad with Chicken is a simple 4-ingredient salad that is great to make ahead of time and enjoy for lunch or dinner all week long!
Thank you to Produce for Kids for sponsoring this post.
I typically help my kids make their lunches, with an emphasis on “help” which means I am only assisting. With that said, since I started working outside the home this year, I was forgetting to make my own lunch. So I would end up just throwing some snacks together like hummus and vegetables/pretzels and a yogurt.
Of course, this is better than eating carry out, but I wanted something more satisfying. So this leads to a little bit of food prep on the weekend so my lunches (and my husbands) would be simple. That’s where this simple Chipotle Cheddar Chopped Salad comes in handy. With only four ingredients, it takes very little time to through together, especially with pre-cooked chicken. After adding all the ingredients to a large bowl, I will divide them up among 4 plastic containers for us to grab and grow during the week. These salads have been lifesavers since we are not only saving money from not buying lunches out, but we are also getting plenty of protein and vegetables mid-day.
I have teamed up with Produce for Kids to bring you this delicious salad and let you know about their partnership with Meijer and the Jump with Jill program (a healthy eating and fitness program for school-age children) going on from now through September 29. Produce for Kids is not only a website full of healthy recipes approved by registered dietitians, nutrition tips and meal planning tools but they are also a philanthropically-based organization that brings the produce industry together to educate consumers about healthy eating and raises funds for local children’s non-profits.
