Gourmand’s Working Lunch

 

GREENS: Make good on the last handful of any green leaves in the refrigerator or the leavings of last night’s salad, like a hearty kale number that doesn’t wilt in the refrigerator

PROTEIN: A soft-boiled egg is perfect here, but feel free to lean on charcuterie or the last knobs of a soft cheese.

 

SOMETHING PICKLED: Cornichons, kimchi, sauerkraut, or pickled onions all work here.

 

BREAD OR CRACKERS: Add in the few lone crackers or last piece of bread in the house—toasted, if needed, drizzled with oil.

 

SAUCES: Mustard, chimichurri, a dollop of Tahini Green Goddess Dressing  or even your premade hummus will come in handy here.

 

FRUIT: Sliced apples, pears, grapes, fresh figs, plums, cherries, or dried apricots add a sweet finish. A piece of good dark chocolate wouldn’t be wrong here either.
