Here are some ideas for what to pack for lunch
1. A pan bagnat sandwich, wrapped in plastic and parchment or waxed paper.
2. A dandelion greens and goat cheese empanada (or two).
3. Fill a small Thermos with black bean and chorizo soup, then add a small container of salsa verde and a bag of cumin toasts.
4. Pack your own charcuterie plate in a box by wrapping up slices of your favorite salumi: prosciutto, Spanish chorizo, maybe some jamón serrano or even lomo if you can find it. Then add a little container of cornichons, another of whole-grain mustard and some slices of baguette.
5. A crusty baguette, thinly sliced jambon de bayonne, some sweet butter and a little Maldon sea salt.
6. The night before, make a batch of calzones filled with burrata and tomatoes. Add a container of fresh pesto for dipping.
7. Make simple spring rolls by rolling up in rice paper romaine lettuce, julienned carrot and daikon, grilled tofu (or cooked shrimp if you have the option to refrigerate your lunch) and some fresh mint and basil. Pack a container of peanut sauce for dipping.
8. Even if you don't have a Thermos you can still have soup for lunch: Make some gazpacho, which is great at room temperature. Pack slices of avocado, some cilantro and a small container of sour cream or yogurt.
9. Pack a lunch with a Middle Eastern spin: Include small containers of hummus and baba ghanouj, pita toasted with a bit of cumin, a container of diced tomatoes and cucumbers, and some good marinated olives.
