I love doing twists on salads. This one is packed full of protein and iron, and it all came about as I wanted to have a kale base. This was a meal prep for me — I made three salads and put them in Tupperware to have for lunch at work throughout the week.

Simple meal prep ready in half an hour full of nutrients and uncompromising on flavour
Ingredients
- 3-4 cups kale, chopped
- 3 chicken breasts, grilled
- 1/2c pomegranate seeds
- 1 butternut squash, roasted
- handful of raisins or dried cranberries
- 3-4 tbsp feta, crumbled
Instructions
- Grill your chicken. I added a little cumin, paprika and salt to mine and popped it on the grill for about 7 minutes top and bottom. If you’re doing it on a griddle, I’d say 5 minutes each side.
- Pop your butternut squash in the oven at 200C/400F. I flavoured mine with just a little chilli powder and salt, then drizzled with olive oil. Roast for half an hour.
- Once everything is prepared, massage your kale with a little olive oil. This helps make it a little less tough. Then add everything other than the chicken and feta cheese.
- If you’re making this as a meal prep, as I was, separate your salad into three containers, or into three bowls. Then slice up a chicken breast each and place it on top with a little bit of feta cheese.

Simple, colourful, delicious and nutritious! Yes, I was a little proud of myself. There may have a moment where I patted myself on the back.
As always, bilafiya (well wishes and wellbeing)
