Original What's your fave red day lunch?

[StaceyUK]

I know it's been asked many times but I always struggle on a red day. Soo....what's your fave red day lunch apart from SW quiche or salad? I need ideas!

I have a chicken and mayo sandwich today with 1/2 a honeydew melon, grapes and a strawberry muller light. Yum!

300g carton of VLF Cottage cheese with Pineapple - 1½ syns, with a couple of Scan Bran -1 syn, and vegetable crudites like carrots and celery, and fruit to follow.

It's low in syns, quick and easy to prepare, full of calcium, Vitamin C and Fibre, and it's really nice too....lovely.

Chicken and Bacon SW Quiche

Steak and Onion sarnie with HE Wholemeal Roll

Salmon Caesar Salad

Ummm...bacon, egg and toast with 2 tbsp Asda smart price tomato ketchup is one!
I love salmon salad too with 2 tbsp Hellmans extra light mayo.
I sometimes make a cooked dinner the night before and re-heat it again at work - eg chicken and veg with gravy.
In all honesty, I prefer Red Days to Green!

Ooops - silly me you said not SW Quiche! Ha haaaaa.

My fave is tuna omelette, with red onion, peppers and cheese on top - scrummy! xx

I'm currently eating jerk chicken drumsticks - a recipe from an old SW magazine. Not had them before and they are blooming tasty! Having them with a large mixed salad.

Oops, just realised you said Red lunch day......mine is a Free lunch really I suppose, sorry about that.

 

[StaceyUK]

Thanks ladies! You've given me some ideas. I just always struggle for some reason. I guess on green in the summer I usually throw together a couscous or pasta salad but I'm really trying to do all red this week. I think I'm going to start having fruit for breakfast and free up my bread for a sarnie at lunch. I like to save my second HEX towards Alpen Light or new potatoes or something like that.

I usually have a salmon salad or tuna salad if I'm at work, but I have been known to have chicken pieces in Hellmans EL mayo with curry powder and grapes to make a sort of coronation chicken and have that with salad too. then of course there's always meatloaf, hot or cold.
