Are you ready for Thanksgiving in a power salad bowl?! Our Fall Harvest Power Salad combines your favorite seasonal flavors in a high-protein, gluten-free salad that satisfies you during lunch or fills your belly after a busy day at dinner time. The stars of the show are butternut squash, bittersweet cranberries, and crunchy walnuts paired with chicken and the peppery flavor of watercress. Then we complete this power salad with a homemade, zesty, lemon-herb dressing made with fresh lemon juice, dried basil and time, fresh parsley, honey, and olive oil to add a bit of zing to the autumn flavors.
This is one of several salad bowls we have listed because they're the epitome of making meal prep convenient. Power salad meal prep recipes are quick, easy, and packed with nutritional goodness (thus the name "power salad). For example, the power in this power salad is butternut squash because it's a great source of fiber and has vitamins A, C, E, and B vitamins. Butternut squash also has minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and zinc.
This autumn-inspired salad is made with a mix of raw and roasted vegetables. Butternut squash adds staying power. Tangy cranberries and crunchy walnuts add fall flavor. Use ready-made rotisserie chicken for quick and easy prep! Best served in the new Good Cook® meal prep bowls!
The salad will last for 4 to 5 days. Keep power salads covered and tightly sealed in meal prep bowls for optimal storage and convenience.
Yes, you can freeze power salads - but be mindful of the ingredients. The proteins are always fine to freeze, but some of the vegetables don't freeze well unless you make adjustments. In this case, don't cook the butternut squash thoroughly if you plan on freezing this power salad meal prep recipe. The cranberries and walnuts do not need freezing.
