For the Dressing & Spice Mix:

- Juice of 3 fresh lemons
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder

- 1/2 cucumber, chopped
- 1/4 cup black olives
- 6 cups chopped arugula
👩🍳 How to Meal Prep It (Jar Assembly)
- 😋 Cook the Pasta: First, cook your chickpea pasta (or other protein pasta) according to package instructions. Once it’s cooked, run it under cold water to chill it immediately.
- 🔪 Prep the Veggies: Chop up your bell peppers and cucumber. Make sure to strain and thoroughly rinse your canned chickpeas.
- 🥄 Mix the Spices: In a small bowl, mix your onion powder, garlic powder, dried dill, salt, and pepper together.
- 🍋 The Dressing Layer: Time to assemble your salad jars! To the bottom of each jar, add 1 tbsp of olive oil and the juice of 1 lemon. Then, evenly divide your spice mix among the jars.
- 🤗 Layer the Goodness: Add the rest of your ingredients to the jars in layers: chickpeas, bell peppers, cucumber, chilled chickpea pasta, black olives, and finally pack the top with chopped arugula.
- 🙌 Store: Close up the jars tightly and store them in the fridge. They will stay fresh and crisp for up to 5 days! Just shake to dress when you're ready to eat!
Enjoy your stress-free, protein-packed lunches all week long!
