If you’ve been on the internet recently you may have seen the popular trend of “dense bean salads.” In an online space where there are lots of questionable trends circulating, this is one that I can wholeheartedly get behind! The idea behind a “dense bean salad” is that it’s a recipe packed with ingredients that get better day by day as the ingredients marinate longer. This dense bean salad I’m sharing today is no exception. It’s flavorful, high in protein (with plant-based options available to boost protein without animal products!), high in fiber, and incredibly customizable.

Let’s be honest, when it comes to meal prep, a bowl-style meal is my go-to. It’s super easy for throwing together a meal that’s packed with protein, loads of veggies and it really lends itself to adjusting the amount of carbs and fats you need to stay aligned with your macro targets. I love it because it’s packed full of flavor and an easy recipe to prep ahead for the whole week, whether you’re cooking for yourself or your whole family.  This healthful Cuban-inspired meal has flavorful jerk chicken thighs over nutritious veggies and wholesome beans making this balanced meal perfect for tracking your macros and working towards your weight loss and fitness goals.
