Vegetarian Greek Salad Meal Prep + Easy Tzatziki

Boring work lunch got ya down? Try this vegetarian Greek Salad meal prep with tzatziki & hummus. 30 grams protein, 20 minutes, 4 lunches, 0 cooking!

Let’s be honest, friends. Sometimes it’s hard to find a plant-based meal near your job. Fries are delicious… but not a meal. Hello, 2 o’clock desk nap!

The best solution for me is “if you can’t get out of it, get into it.” I spend less and eat healthier when I take 20-30 minutes on Sunday to make an easy lunch. Make something you actually enjoy eating. If it’s a no-cook lunch like this, even better! Divide into 4 or 5 food storage containers. Lunch frustration is over.

Let’s Meal Prep Your Lunch!

Chop, Grate & Slice Your Ingredients

Chop a beautiful head of crispy lettuce.

Slice 1/4 of a red onion. Cut a cucumber in half. Take one of the halves, cut in slices, then cut slices into half moons.

Grate the other half of the cucumber. Wrap grated cucumber in a soft cotton dishtowel. Squeeze out the excess water.

Slice a beautiful, salty block of feta. If you want even more flavor, try an herb-marinated block of feta! Mmm… feta…

Mince the parsley and dill. I love cooking with fresh herbs! The whole kitchen smells like a garden on a summer day. Which is perfect, because there is snow on the ground here!

Pro Tip: Have you ever bought the little plastic containers of fresh herbs… but they go bad in your fridge before you can use them for a 2nd recipe? Try putting the stalks in a small jar of water in the fridge or on the counter!

Cut pita bread in fourths. OR, if you want to get creative: cut the pitas in half, and stuff with all of the ingredients for a Greek salad pocket lunch!

Stir Tzatziki Ingredients Together

In a small bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, cucumber, parsley & dill.

Assemble Your Lunch Boxes

In 4 food storage containers, layer lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, feta, chickpeas and cucumber. Top salad with tzatziki. Tuck 4 pita slices into the salad. Add hummus to a separate section or smaller container, to avoid a soggy salad on day 4.
