Okay, so I’m sick of chickpeas, tired of couscous. Have no time for pitta bread. I’ve been running out of ideas for a simple work lunch that will keep my attention and my stomach full. It needs to be cheap, easy to reproduce and about 300 calories. Here’s my latest idea, and I think it works well:
Salad with chicken, baby potatoes, peas, spinach, feta, boiled egg and lemon-parsley dressing
serves 5 (Monday to Friday)
250 g frozen peas, boiled and blanched
75 g wafer thin chicken, sliced
100 g feta cheese, crumbled
500 g salad potatoes, boiled
100 g cucumber, deseeded and chopped
5 medium eggs, boiled and blanched
150 g baby spinach
for the dressing:
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
zest and juice of 1 lemon
Combine the first five ingredients in a large container with a top. Make the dressing by blitzing the three required ingredients with a hand blender and add to the container. Mix through. Chill in the refrigerator.
Each morning, scoop out 1 of the portions of the potato salad and add to a Tupperware dish with one egg and 30 g baby spinach. All of the ingredients will last the week.

This comment has nothing to do with food, but did you see that article in the Guardian today called “Uncool Britannia”? I thought it was pretty funny. Check it out: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/feb/12/britain-america
