We’ve all been there—staring into the fridge, trying to get excited about another day of leftovers or the same sandwich for the fourth time this week. But work lunches don’t have to be boring, especially when you’ve got a stash of Alchemy Salt Lab mixes ready to go.
Our dip mixes are way more than just dips. They’re flavor bombs that make meal prep ridiculously easy. Below, we’re sharing how to take one mix and use it two ways—so you can meal prep like a pro without eating the same thing every day.
Creamy Cucumber
Cool, herby, and fresh—this mix brings major Mediterranean vibes, and it’s a total win in both wraps and bowls.
1. Chicken & Cucumber Wraps
Mix Creamy Cucumber with plain Greek yogurt. Spread it on a tortilla and layer in grilled chicken, cucumber slices, spinach, and a little feta. Roll it up for a super refreshing lunch wrap.
2. Couscous Bowl with Cucumber Dressing
Use the same dip (thinned with a splash of lemon juice or olive oil) as a dressing over couscous, cherry tomatoes, chickpeas, and arugula. Add a protein (like salmon or rotisserie chicken) if you want a full meal.
Jalapeño
This one’s for the spice lovers—just enough heat to wake up your lunch without blowing out your taste buds.
1. Spicy Southwest Pasta Salad
Mix the Jalapeño dip with sour cream and a splash of lime. Stir it into cooked pasta with corn, black beans, red bell pepper, and shredded cheddar. It’s cold, creamy, and full of flavor.
2. Jalapeño Turkey Wraps
Spread it on a tortilla with turkey, avocado, lettuce, and a few crushed tortilla chips for crunch. Easy, spicy, and totally satisfying.
Garlic Bacon Ranch
It’s ranch—but BETTER! Garlicky, super versatile, and with bacon (you can't tell me anything with bacon isn't automatically the best)
1. Chicken Bacon Ranch Salad Jar
Layer cooked chicken, chopped romaine, tomatoes, cheese, and crumbled bacon in a mason jar. Add the Garlic Bacon Ranch dip as your dressing. Shake it up when you’re ready to eat!
2. Ranchy Veggie Wraps
Spread it on a wrap with roasted veggies (think zucchini, red onion, bell pepper), and a sprinkle of sharp cheddar. Warm it up or eat it cold—either way, it’s a win.
Double Onion
Rich, savory, and comforting—like French onion soup turned into a spread.
1. Onion Roast Beef Sandwich
Mix it up and spread it on your favorite bread with roast beef, Swiss cheese, and greens. Wrap it tightly and it’ll hold up great for next-day lunches.
2. Warm Veggie & Rice Bowl
Toss roasted sweet potatoes, broccoli, and rice with a dollop of Double Onion dip and a little broth. It melts into a creamy, oniony sauce when warmed up.
Roasted Red Bell Pepper
A little sweet, a little smoky—this one adds depth without needing a ton of ingredients.
1. Mediterranean Hummus Plate (Lunchbox Style)
Pair your Roasted Red Bell Pepper dip with pita, olives, cucumbers, and a boiled egg. Toss in a granola bar or piece of fruit and you’re set.
2. Pepper & Quinoa Power Bowl
Mix it into cooked quinoa as a flavorful dressing, then top with roasted chicken, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes.
Mediterranean Za’atar
Earthy and lemony, this mix adds instant Mediterranean flair to any meal.
1. Za’atar Chickpea Wrap
Toss canned chickpeas with a spoonful of Za’atar dip, cucumbers, and shredded carrots. Wrap it all in a pita or tortilla for a quick, filling lunch.
2. Cold Pasta + Za’atar Sauce
Stir the dip into a little olive oil and lemon juice to make a cold pasta salad dressing. Add cooked pasta, cherry tomatoes, and chopped parsley.
Honey Garlic Sriracha
Sweet, spicy, and a little sticky—it’s like your favorite wing sauce, but smarter.
1. Spicy Chicken Rice Bowl
Stir into cooked rice with shredded rotisserie chicken and steamed broccoli. Top with sesame seeds and scallions if you’re feeling fancy.
2. Sriracha Slaw Wraps
Mix into slaw (just cabbage + carrots + a little vinegar) and use as a base for grilled chicken or tofu wraps. Flavor-packed, crunchy, and great cold.
Meal Prep Doesn’t Have to Be Boring
With just one Alchemy Salt Lab mix and a little creativity, you can build two totally different meals that are both easy and exciting. Whether you’re working from home or packing lunch on the go, our mixes take the guesswork (and the blandness) out of lunchtime.
Pro Tip: Mix once, use twice. That’s the beauty of flavor-forward prep.
