But we prefer to keep things classic and simple with hummus, quinoa, avocado and loads of veggies!
Caprese Sandwich
This caprese sandwich is fresh from the basil and hearty from thick, crusty ciabatta.
The sun-dried tomatoes deepen the flavor.

Celery adds a satisfying crunch, while blue cheese provides a cooling element to balance the spicy sauce.
Serve on top of leafy greens or use as a sandwich filling.
Pack these ahead to keep on hand for easy meal-prep lunches or dinners on busy nights.

Fresh heirloom tomato pairs well with the slightly salty, creamy burrata and tangy balsamic vinegar.
Egg Salad Lettuce Wraps
We love the retro vibe of these egg salad lettuce wraps.
Iceberg lettuce makes a perfect low-carb swap for bread to serve the egg salad.

Let the kiddos load them up with the toppings at the table.
Mix it up by trying it with canned chickpeas or black beans.
If you’re not a fan of cilantro, mix in freshly chopped basil or dill instead.

We love the crunch of the sunflower seeds and the unexpected flavor of roasted peppers.
This vegetarian meal is so tasty that even meat-only eaters won’t miss the beef.
The extra dressing is delicious served with grilled vegetables.
