Pack dressing separately, and drizzle onto salads just before serving. You can also stuff each salad into a quart-sized jar with lid.

Next time, I will I cut the olive oil to 1/8 cup, 4 tsp of sesame seeds, chickpeas to 3/4 c and quinoa to 3/4 cup and use a Hass avocado, as it is much lower in fat. I love goat cheese, so I was not willing to cut it down.

Now, my WW points is 9 with those adjustments.
