Protein Salad with Honey-Mustard Dressing

🥗 Today I have not one … but TWO recipes for you!

It’s a salad-and-dressing combo that is a perfect make-ahead lunch.

You can prep this in a mason jar or reusable container – and it will keep in the fridge for 2 days.

  • 1 medium carrot, shredded
  • 3-5 grape tomatoes, halved
