This recipe keeps well for several days making it perfect for meal prepping. Sometimes, I like to place a layer of the Caprese salad in a mason jar and then top it with some baby spinach. When it’s time to eat, just dump this out onto a plate and dig in. It’s a delicious and filling lunch idea that’s packed with nutrients.
