Pasta salad lasts about 2 or 3 days well, in my opinion. It’s a great option one or twice but it doesn’t scale well for weeklong meal prepping.
A roster of shelf stable foods to mix up a mono-diet helps immensely. Nothing that takes more than a few minutes or steps–a case of ramen, a box of cereal, and/or some frozen foods keep thing varied and palatable regardless of whatever meal prepping system works out for you. Just as backups when you just don’t want another goddamned piece of parmesan-panko-chicken, and so on.
My goto in my younger less reliably incomed days was always hardboiled eggs and dried beans I’d soak overnight and slowcook with onion the next day.
