Notes

If you’re in the habit of shelling out your hard-earned money for a salad, sandwich or soup at work each day, it might be time for a menu change-up. Save some coin and impress your colleagues with these nutritionally dense and easy-to-prep work lunches – and never go hangry again! Bring the dressing for the spring salad in a separate container, then when you get to lunch time all you need to do it shake both together.
