Notes
As a main dish, this would serve 4, 1 1/2 cups each with over 21g protein.
If you want this as a meal prep lunch for 4, you can make jar salads by dividing 1/4 of the dressing and pouring the dressing on the bottom of 4 jars, followed by the beans, then the eggs, then the vegetables. Shake the jar when ready to eat.
