Most days of the week, Mark’s Big-Ass Salad is the best lunch for his day. But not everyone would say the same, and that works, too. On days when you crave something different for lunch, the most convenient and money-saving solution is packing up leftovers from the night before. Pack as much or as little as you want, throw together some tasty Primal sides, and you’re good to go. To offer a little inspiration toward your midday meal prep, here are five dinners that make excellent lunches the next day. Be sure to share yours in the comment board as well!
There are many ways to slow-cook pork shoulder to tender, succulent perfection. Pack the pork up with one of these delicious lunch box combinations:
Pulled pork + Fermented veggies (pickles or kimchi) + Fresh Berries + Almonds and unsweetened 100% cacao chips
Pulled pork + Primal Cornbread + Coleslaw
Pulled pork + Hard boiled eggs + Macadamia Balls
Here’s an easy lunch: Leftover chicken + Primal Kitchen® Chipotle Lime Mayo = instantly flavorful, spicy, chicken salad
Pack up your chipotle chicken salad with:
Bell pepper strips + Parmigiano-Reggiano Crisps + Kiwi and Berries
Nuts and Olives + Steamed Broccoli with olive oil
Apple slices + Nut butter
Every time you make soup, like this Aromatic Beef Soup with Mushrooms and Chard or a simple 10-Minute Seaweed Soup (pictured), ladle a single serving into a resealable plastic bag and freeze it. Pop that frozen bag into your lunchbox, and it will mostly be defrosted by lunch. Yes, a hot bowl of soup does require a microwave at the office. Or, pack up a refreshing cold soup.
This recipe for Cajun salmon burgers has simple instructions for making the perfect salmon burger. Add the Cajun spices, or not, and definitely double the recipe because these salmon burgers are delicious served hot or cold. Either way, make sure to pack a small container of Primal Kitchen mayo for dipping.
