Cubed deli turkey takes the place of chicken, while cheddar replaces blue cheese in this easy Cobb-inspired salad. The protein-rich turkey and cheese, plus eggs and bacon, give the salad staying power, so you won’t get hungry an hour after you eat. Serve the salad right away or pack it up in individual containers, and you’ll be set for lunch for days.

A simple dressing, using yogurt rather than mayo, moistens the chicken in this tasty lightened-up chicken salad. Plus, it’s flavor-packed thanks to a quick-to-fix honey mustard. Whip up a batch while you’re meal prepping for easy, packable lunches.

View Recipe: Spinach and Artichoke Salad with Parmesan Vinaigrette

Inspired by the classic warm party dip, this simple salad can be served up right away or divided into lidded containers for a week of lunches. To keep the hard-boiled eggs tasting fresh, we suggest peeling them and adding to your salad just before serving or in the morning before packing your lunch to go.
