    salad dressing pro tip: Mix some xanthan gum into 1-2 tablespoons of oil then substitute the rest of the oil with water. The gum helps both thicken it and act as an additional emulsifier. It mixes best into oil first not water. Since you still have oil in it you still get that oily mouth-feel and the carrier for fat-soluble flavor compounds, but drastically lower in calories. Use a super good-quality EVO if you want to make sure the olive oil flavor is still there

      The red lentil pasta doesn't do well if not eaten right away imo with a lot of sauce. Chickpea pasta has been my go to for meal prep for a while even though it can be argued that red lentil has slightly better macros. I make a less healthy version of this often with fat free olive garden dressing and pepperoni and diced ham as my meat instead of chicke but I'm definitely going to try the dijon chicken next week

    This one is easy 5/5. After few days it still keeps the flavor and unlike other salads, it doesn't feel like you're eating soupy vegetables. While preparing I only omitted celery, as I never know how to use the remaining stalks, wasting them in the process, and the only use of celery I know of is bolognese sauce. I was definitely missing some crunch, and I think a great alternative would be some cashew or Brazilian nuts. Good nutrients, and it's always one vegetable less! Not only it is a good recipe, but I feel like this could be turned into a framework, where you could switch around 2-3 ingredients to keep it from being boring. Next time I'll use tofu to reduce meat consumption, but add some cheese for boost of flavor.
