Ingredients

100 g skinless chicken breasts grilled, sliced
8 wholemeal wheat crispbreads
20 g avocado mashed, (approx. 1 tbsp)
200 g cherry tomatoes quartered
¼ red (Spanish) onion finely chopped
1 tbsp fresh dill finely chopped
1 stick celery cut into snack-sized pieces
ground black pepper to taste (optional)

Method

Combine your tomatoes, dill, onion, and black pepper (if you’re using it) in a bowl, and toss to create a simple salad.
Put each of the lunchbox components—the salad, the chicken, the avocado, and the celery sticks into different compartments in a container, or into small separate containers.
This meal is designed to be enjoyed picnic-style. When it comes time for lunch, it’s as easy as assembling the different pieces on the crispbread, or enjoying them on their own.
Hint: If you’re taking this to work with you, a squeeze of lemon juice stirred through the avocado will help prevent it browning before meal time.
