Light, simple, quick and healthy lunch for work or school! Caprese with garlic toast lunch box is a great way to enjoy in season/late summer tomatoes and basil!
‘Tis the season’s last!!
Super sweet tomatoes and fresh basil. Got to use it all before it all dries up before the bitter, cold winter.
What better way than to make a classic caprese salad!
Caprese didn’t come across as a lunchbox/meal prep candidate for a very long time.
Until I realized that it works out great especially for this time of the year.
Chilly mornings with mild temperatures are great for caprese to hold well at room temperature when compared to hot summer days. Don’t ya agree?
Toasting bread, boiling egg, tossing a caprese salad….a child’s play.
This is more of an idea/inspiration than a recipe.
Protein. Carbs. Cheese. Veggies. It has it all!! So healthy, flavorful and so light.
