Be honest, has your relationship with lunch gone a little flat? Are you simply going through the motions - popping some tired old lettuce and cheese slices on bread when once you looked forward to creating a spectacular, fresh, well-balanced meal? Sigh...
If this resonates with you then we've got the perfect recipe to turn your midday meal on it's head...
Ready? Introducing the....
Upside-Down Lunchbox Salad
The idea is simple yet genius - packing a gorgeous salad and dressing in a lunchbox, ready for your commute. Then (now this is the really genius part) you pack the contents in such a way that when it's time for lunch, open the box lid-first on your plate and voila, out tumbles a healthy, vibrant salad drizzling with dressing and ready to eat.
With this salad, careful assembly is required. Pop the harder fruits and veg in your container first, and the leafy, softer items on top, followed by the dressing. When plated, everything will be right way up - ta-dah!
Tip - do your salad decanting with flourish and amongst a crowd of colleagues for maximum kudos!
For 1 serving you'll need:
8 Sugar Snaps Peas
1 Cucumber, cut into bite-sized chunks

Splash Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Squeeze of Lemon Juice
Make it:
Pop all ingredients in a lunch box (choose one with a reliable seal) in the order listed. When ready to eat, simply tumble the contents onto a plate. Enjoy!
