Meal Prep Guide

Ingredients
- ¼ cup olive oil

- 1 tsp maple syrup
- 1 garlic clove (crushed)
- 1 tsp dried oregano

Tips
- You want to cook the pasta first so it has time to cool before adding the salad ingredients.
- The perfect potluck salad, just add the rocket just before serving to prevent the leaves from wilting.

Protein
- For some added protein, halve the amount of pasta and add 1 tin of drained and rinsed chickpeas.
