Taking Lunch To Work Part 2

When you work it can be even more difficult to make yourself a healthy lunch.  You don't have your kitchen right there with you, you have to plan ahead and make/prep whatever it is going to be.  Sometimes there just isn't enough time before to work to plan what you're going to have for lunch, make it and take it with you.  So you think, I'll just make it the night before.  Yeah, because after a long busy day, after you've already made dinner, you really just want to make ANOTHER meal.  So what can you do?  How do you still eat fresh food at work?  With only a little planning, twice a week, maybe even once a week you can have a fresh salad every day!  Here's how:




For the first jar, I made a lemon dressing with the juice of half a lemon, 1 tsp Olive Oil, 1/2 Garlic Clove, a dash of salt and pepper.  Then 1/2 cup Garbanzo Beans, Red Bell Pepper, Red Onion, Fresh Basil and Spinach.

For the second jar, I made a lime dressing with the juice of half a lime, 1 tsp Olive Oil, 1/2 Garlic Clove, a dash of salt and pepper.  Then 1/2 cup Black Beans, a few Grape Tomatoes, Fresh Corn, Red Onion, Cilantro and Spinach.  

You can make these Sunday even and make enough to last you all week!  Or split it up and make some on Sunday and some on Wednesday.  You can add meat, pasta, any other veggies you want!  Get creative.  And enjoy a fresh lunch everyday :)
