Lunch is often a meal we do not make the most of. It’s something we often eat in a rush in the middle of a working day or while trying to care for children, without much thought to nutrition. However, there are some easy meals, that will not take much time to prepare, that will provide a welcome energy boost to help you perform well through the rest of the day.
Chickpea and tuna salad
Featuring chickpeas, tuna, and crumbled feta cheese, this protein-packed salad will keep you full for longer. Make it with spinach leaves for added nutrition, with tomatoes, cucumber, and capers. Add a dressing of lemon juice and olive oil for a delicious fresh flavour. Salads are versatile, and swapping any ingredients for your own preferences and different salad dressings can bring a whole new flavour.
Egg salad sandwich
Egg salad is another protein-rich option that is great for vegetarians. Make with hard-boiled eggs and mayonnaise, and add celery hearts for additional crunch and flavour. Serve with your favourite bread, with wholemeal making it a particularly filling and healthy choice. If you are looking for sandwiches for office lunch catering, egg salad is a good option, as both meat-eaters and vegetarians can enjoy it. It is a really popular option for office lunch catering services such as https://www.crumbsdelivered.co.uk/shop/office-lunch-delivery.
Chickpea salad sandwich
Vegans can often find it hard to get tasty, energy-boosting sandwiches, but the chickpea salad sandwich is a good option. A dressing of dill, garlic, and lemon packs a flavoursome punch. Adding celery adds crunch and chickpeas provide protein. Add your favourite salad leaves for a substantial sandwich.
Black bean salad
No cooking is required for this tasty sandwich. Black beans can be served with your favourite salad greens. Add sweetcorn and tomatoes for added colour and flavour. For a luxurious dressing blend avocado, lime juice, olive oil, coriander, garlic and salt before adding thinly sliced onion.
Usually, both salads and sandwiches can be prepared in advance, making them ideal for taking to work or school.
