This salad is a helpful tool for weight loss because it provides a good balance of fiber, protein and healthy fats from loads of veggies and beans, all tossed in a tangy apple-cider vinaigrette. To meal-prep these for lunch throughout the week, pack the dressing and the salad separately and make sure your veggies are thoroughly dried before packing them together.

• 1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts, rinsed and halved or quartered
• 1 cup rinsed no-salt-added chickpeas
