My Lunch Box Salad

3.8
4 ratings
Ditch the boring calorific sandwich for this super tasty salad that you can make with rice, cous cous or quinoa. It lasts easily for 3 days in the fridge and keeps well throughout the day until lunchtime. I would even say I prefer to eat this salad room temperature than just out of the fridge.
