Step 1

Thoroughly rinse quinoa in a fine mesh strainer under running water. Cook quinoa according to package instructions.

Step 2

Meanwhile, make the ranch dressing. Chop chives and add to a bowl with Greek yogurt, mayo, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and onion powder. Stir until smooth.

Step 3

Shred carrots, chop tomatoes and drain and rinse chickpeas.

Step 4

It's time to portion. Place all the toppings into meal prep containers, setting aside a portion to eat straight away if you'd like. Add mixed greens on top. This will help prevent the greens from getting soggy. Cover with a lid. Portion ranch dressing into small containers. Store in the refrigerator.

Step 5

When it's time to eat, enjoy chilled, straight from the fridge. Toss with the ranch and dig in!
