    One of my recent favorites is an old standby: a bowl of soup (Amy's Black Bean & Vegetable is my current go-to) and a basic salad with JUST veggies and dressing. No croutons, cheese, etc. I'm a vegetarian, so the black beans in the soup are a good protein source for me.

    The lunch i am having at the moment is:
    Cooked lamb (I do whole joints in the slow cooker and shred the meat for lunches)
    Quinoa
    Diced cooked beetroot
    Pomegranate seeds
    Peeled and diced cucumber
    Diced spring onions (scallions)
    Flat-leaf parsley
    Horseradish sauce (I find that the 'hot horseradish' ones are dairy free) as a dressing
    Lambs lettuce

    I do a few variations on this kind of thing with beef, chicken, ham, chorizo with prawns, tuna mayo. I like balsamic dressing, horseradish (sometimes mixed with lemon juice and capers), lemon juice + chilli flakes+ diced tomato+ olive oil is nice as well.

    I vary the veg, I also like:
    Sweetcorn
    Rocket (arugula I think in the USA)
    Baby gem lettuce
    Red onion
    tomatoes
    Peppadew peppers
    Roasted peppers
    Grilled artichokes
    My husband adds jalapenos to his

    I love Amy's soups! I always keep cans on hand if I need to grab a quick lunch. Lentil is my favorite.
