Recipes like our Chipotle Chicken Quinoa Burrito Bowl and Shrimp Avocado Chopped Salad are delicious choices for a healthy lunch.
This cucumber salad sandwich is a light and simple lunch idea
Who said you can’t put a salad on a sandwich? Flavor this creamy cucumber filling with your favorite fresh herbs, tangy feta cheese, and lemon. Salting the cucumber and patting it dry removes some of the moisture from the cucumber so the filling doesn’t make the bread too soggy. If you like crusty bread, toast it first for extra crunch.
Chipotle Chicken Quinoa Burrito Bowl
This savory burrito bowl features grilled chicken covered in a tangy chipotle glaze. Loading it up with veggies and using quinoa instead of rice adds nutrition for a healthier dinner.
Chopped Avocado and Shrimp Salad
The smoky flavors of grilled shrimp and corn in this healthy chopped salad recipe are a tasty pairing for the creamy cilantro dressing.
Chickpea Salad With Cranberries And Walnuts
We swap chickpeas for chicken to create a satisfying veggie dish that’s perfect for lunch. Cranberries add a sweet-tart flavor, while roasted walnuts and celery provide crunch. Serve over leafy greens or use as a sandwich filling.
Chicken Cucumber Lettuce Wraps with Peanut Sauce

Chipotle Lime Cauliflower Taco Bowls
A bold, smoky marinade elevates roasted cauliflower in this mealtime version of our popular Carolyn Malcoun’s Chipotle-Lime Cauliflower Tacos. To cut prep time for these healthy taco bowls, look for pre-cut cauliflower in the produce department. You can also save time by using microwaveable bags of quinoa (you’ll need an 8-ounce bag for this recipe) instead of cooking the quinoa.

Mason Jar Power Salad with chickpeas and tuna
This energy salad will keep you fueled for hours, thanks to 26 grams of protein and 8 grams of fiber. Tossing the dressing and kale, and then letting it sit in the jar, softens it enough that you don’t need to massage or cook it to tenderize it.
