If you find that most salads leave you feeling hungry an hour later, this high-protein recipe is the answer. It’s specifically designed to be a substantial meal, packed with ingredients that provide lasting energy and satiety.
The protein punch comes from multiple sources. First, the 400g tin of butter beans provides a healthy dose of plant-based protein and fibre. When combined with 100g of chorizo, the protein content gets a significant boost, making this a truly hearty dish.
Even the dressing contributes to the protein count, with parmesan cheese, pumpkin seeds, and an egg yolk all adding to the total. This combination of protein and healthy fats from the olive oil and seeds is key to making the salad so filling.
This is the perfect meal for a post-workout dinner or a satisfying lunch that will power you through the afternoon. It proves that a salad can be a genuinely robust and filling meal, capable of satisfying even the heartiest of appetites.
