It’s a question you ask yourself on the reg: What should I have for lunch? We barely have time to get everything done in the day, let alone meal prep healthy lunches for the week. But you know what else we don’t have the time—or the budget—for? Trekking outside for an $18 salad that isn’t even that good. (But seriously, have you seen the prices on produce lately?) Luckily, there’s a solution in these 75 easy lunch ideas that are fast, satisfying and low-lift, yet still delicious.
With everything from chicken salad-stuffed peppers to radish barbecue bowls with honey mustard dressing, this handy list of lunch ideas should keep you satisfied for months to come.
