Before I leave the house for the train in the morning I always have just a few minutes to pack food for the day. I have a hard time packing lunch the night before, which usually leaves me in a pinch come morning.
It is inexpensive to keep a small container of fresh mixed greens in the refrigerator at work. A bottle of dressing will keep for awhile. However, I usually get bored with the same dressing each day, effectively ending my trying to be good and sticking with sensible salads for lunch.
Anyhow, it is easy for me two mix up two small containers of dressing and topping to keep the lunch time salad new and mildly exciting. This morning I quickly mixed a few teaspoons of grapeseed oil, a drizzle of maple syrup, lime juice, and a few pinches of chile powder in a tiny dressing container. I threw some dried cranberries and chopped almonds into another container.
Enter lunch time: a few handfuls of greens, dressing and topping…even the salad-cynic that I am was happy and filled.
