Lunch recipes Page 2

Lunch recipes built for packing, from wraps and sandwiches to cold salads and soups that reheat well. Many are made ahead: boiled egg sandwiches, chicken salad, chickpea salad bento boxes and a rice ball bento with salmon all hold up in a container until noon. Pasta salads such as Greek pasta salad with feta and Italian tortellini salad are mixed in about 20 minutes and taste better after a rest in the fridge.

For something warm, look to hot chickpea pitas, cheese quesadillas, Mediterranean chicken wraps or a pot of red lentil or tomato soup. Check the time in each title to match your break, and choose a cold dish if you have no microwave at work.
