hot girl meal prep: holiday edition
christmas confetti salad by wishbone kitchen!
The last two weeks of the year is always confusing to meal plan for: festive holiday dinners and celebrations sprinkled with work days in between. Since I won’t be eating at home a lot, I don’t usually do a full on meal prep situation during the end of the year but I do love having a healthy meal ready to go in my fridge for those non-holiday days.
When I saw Meredith from Wishbone Kitchen make this christmas confetti salad I knew it would be the perfect hot girl winter meal prep for these last few limbo weeks of the year. It’s super healthy and yummy, while serving elite holiday vibes. I especially love that the brussel sprouts and radicchio hold up to the dressing really well so that the salad stays crunchy throughout the week, whenever you’re ready to eat it.
ingredients:
shaved brussel sprouts, 1 bag
thinly sliced radicchio, 1 head*
marcona almonds, 1/2 cup**
dried cranberries, 1/2 cup
goat cheese, 1/2 cup
grilled chicken (or literally any protein, shrimp would be so yum w this)
optional: balsamic glaze, flaky sea salt
the dressing: 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 tbsp dijon mustard, 1 tbsp maple syrup, 1/4 tsp salt
steps:
make dressing: whisk everything together
assemble: throw everything else into a bowl and toss well w the dressing
enjoy: add extra toppings for fun ᵕ̈
lil note:
*I will admit the radicchio was a bit of a B to find. Meredith says you can sub purple cabbage for the radicchio but idk, I really can’t be eating a whole head of raw cabbage while trying to look cute during the holidays… my IBS could simply never. Instead, I would recommend just dicing up some beets or red apple for the pop of red! I actually ended up doing that below bc I have a box of beets from costco that I’m determined to finish before the end of the year… it is not coming into 2025 with me.
**I used truffle marcona almonds from Trader Joe’s and topped with truffle sea salt (bc the holidays are for being extra)
