Hearty & Healthy Lunch Salads

Sometimes it's hard to come up with good ideas for eating lunch in the office. Too often we default to bringing in leftovers we cooked the night before or random sandwiches. While both of those are still good choices, it's important to mix things up and keep them fresh.  That's where a hearty salad comes in handy. They're easy to prepare and are a great way to use leftover dinner proteins.

Pictured at the top is the Grilled Chicken and Tomato Salad from MyRecipes. It features grilled chicken, cherry tomatoes, arugula, goat cheese and kalamata olives.

We also like the Steak and Goat Cheese Salad from Whole Foods Market, pictured below. It uses grilled sirloin, romaine, slivered carrots, goat cheese and a balsamic vinaigrette.


The next time you're looking for a hearty & healthy lunch, remember it's easy to make a salad and top it with your favorite grilled meat or tofu. Enjoy!
