I think I may have posted something like this before but I need ideas for lunches for my DH. It needs to be food that can be eaten without being warmed up.

also the following options are out - tuna, fish of any kind, cream cheese, feta cheese, cottage cheese and yogurt. There may be other items as well but thats all I can think of at the moment.

so what ideas do you guys have?

My dh's usual lunch: a veggie burger (I bake it the night before & then pack it in a baggy), some kind of sandwich, like ww bread with cream cheese, chummus, peanut butter etc, and a salad. We buy the one pound disposable containers by the case, so I pack his salad in those containers. The dressing goes on top of the salad in a little baggy. I try to make the salads interesting, including whatever I have on hand, like chick peas, olives, pickles, scallions, baby corn, hearts of palm etc. He takes fruit, granola bars, almonds etc. for snacks.

Other ideas that I do occasionally to add some variety:

egg salad in a little container (I pack the bread in a bag & he makes a sandwich right before eating it so it doesn't get soggy)

a baked sweet potato instead of a sandwich

sliced chicken breast on top of salad (this is great if I make chicken cutlets for dinner the night before)

sliced turkey breast

This salad topped with chicken makes a great lunch. I make don't make this all the time cuz it takes a little more prep time than his usual lunch.

Grilled Chicken Breast Salad

Marinate chicken breasts:
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup soy sauce
4 T. brown sugar
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/4 cup ketchup

Cut each chicken cutlet into 3 or 4 strips. Combine above ingredients & pour over chicken cutlets. Refrigerate several hours or overnight, if you have the time. Grill or bake chicken breasts (I always bake them, covered with aluminum foil, at 350 degrees for about 1/2 hour-40 minutes. I bake them in the marinade.) When the chicken is cool, cut into strips.

Salad Dressing:
1/2 cup low fat mayo
1 tsp. garlic powder
few shakes black pepper
3-4 T. water

Salad:
romaine lettuce
craisins
grape tomatoes

Mix salad with dressing and top with the chicken.
