One of the things I quickly discovered while making zero-waste meals is that a good sauce can make all the difference. As zero-wasters, we're working with the most delicious + nutritious ingredients: fresh vegetables, legumes, whole grains, nuts + seeds to name a few. Sometimes salt, pepper flakes + a bit of olive oil is all that is needed to make these into a tasty meal. Sometimes a simple sauce bumps the whole enterprise up a notch. This meal was simple + delicious...and zero-waste. This salad can obviously be made with a variety of ingredients. I do especially like this dressing/sauce with chickpeas + cucumbers + tomatoes.

A meal like this can be a quick meal with a little foresight + regular preparation. Regularly cooking up a large batch of chickpeas all at once, always having yogurt on hand + storing my greens effectively help so much when it comes time to make meals...even at the end of a long day. (I've linked a few of the ways I keep these ingredients zero-waste, fresh + ready for use above.) When I cook rice, I always cook more than I need, so that I can have some already cooked rice on hand for meals like this. This salad can be eaten cold or warm. It could be batch made ahead for lunches too. Nourishing, quick, easy + tasty...just how I like my meals!
Love, Jane
