Fresh Lunch Rolls

Not long into my new Paleo life, I began to remember back to the days of quick and easy lunches from Subway. The pickles, lunch meat, veggies, peperoncinis, yum! Then I found this idea and the trip down memory lane made a quick u-turn. I have been making these lunch wraps ever since. You can make them into single rolls or add toothpicks (as pictured) and cut up for a fabulous hors d'oeuvre.

Fresh Lunch Rolls

Turkey Breast Lunch Meat
Ham Lunch Meat
Salami
(Applegate has some great organic options for lunchmeat- look for it at your grocery store)
Mustard
Your choices of veggies (ie- spinach, tomatoes, peperoncini, pickles, red peppers, olives, etc)
Oregano (optional)
Mayo (not paleo - optional)

Lay out lunch meat over each other. I start with the ham since it holds together the best, then lay one piece of turkey on top followed by 2 pieces of salami side by side. (In the picture I didn't use salami since we were out of it, but you see the idea)
Next add your condiments and veggies.
Even picky eaters, (not to mention any names -ahem) like the ones on the left, will enjoy these wraps. They can be modified to anyone's tastes.

Sprinkle oregano over the ingredients. (Optional)

Roll up.
You can enjoy them as is, or you can add toothpicks and cut for your dinner party. (See pictures below)
Enjoy!

Keeping Your Salad Fresh

Sick and tired of having 4 different containers for your salad you take with you on your daily journey? Here is a great way to pack your salad all in one place without getting your lettuce wilted and slimy. In a mason jar put your dressing of choice in the bottom, then stack your veggies, meat and greens on top. When it’s time for lunch, simply turn jar upside down for a few minutes to let the dressing drizzle over everything. (Just be careful to keep jar right side up until you are ready to eat) Remove lid, place your salad on a plate, and enjoy!
