lunchbox love :: a salad parfait

Hope you enjoy your lunch today honey!

Here is how I layered Ryan's salad parfait today*:

olive oil

balsamic

chickpeas (to marinate in the dressing)

broccoli (so beautiful at the farmer's market right now)

red bell pepper

lettuce (on top to stay crisp)

toasted seeds (pinon, sunflower, pumpkin)

ready to dump onto a plate and enjoy

(snack: almonds for your pocket xo)

*you can prepare a salad parfait up to 5 days in advance

What's for Lunch?

Gracie got a new lunch box from PlanetBox at the Green Festival. This day I cut her sandwich into a heart and the red bell peppers were in the shape of flowers. I have to admit it makes preparing lunches so much fun and she can carry it instead of mama lugging around eight different containers!
