Notes

  • To meal prep: combine everything except the salad dressing. Divide into four equal portions and store in air-tight containers in the fridge. Add two tablespoons of dressing right before eating.
  • Fermented pickles:  if you don’t have any fermented pickles, you can sub with store-bought pickles, or chopped sauerkraut.
