Easy–add cucumbers, more tomatoes, or even zucchini. Need more red containers? Add chicken or beef to the recipe.

I don’t love cheese, so I don’t include it in my salads, but I know there are a lot of cheese lovers out there! Customize this salad with anything you’d like, but be mindful of the container count before you close them up and put them in the fridge for the week.
