This has been one of my favorite lunches recently – it’s been making near weekly appearances, which is practically unheard of around here. It’s really not terribly fancy, but all together it’s absolutely delicious.

I’m also loving it because the individual ingredients all fit perfectly into the sections of my bento box. It makes it so much easier to take to work and solves the usual soggy sandwich issue.

For those of you that take lunch to work, what are you favorite things to pack? I’m always looking for new ideas.
