Healthy Lunch Recipe with Glad To Go Lunch

I am always looking for quick and easy lunch ideas for myself and the hubby.  My husband leaves for work at 5 a.m. and I have to be out of the house by 7 a.m.  The last thing we want to do in the morning is pack a lunch.  So I've been making this delicious garbanzo bean salad for us.   It is so good and an easy, healthy lunch for both of us.

Garbanzo Bean Salad:

• 1 can of garbanzo beans 
• 1 can of unsalted corn 
• 1 can of black olives 
• 1 red pepper 
• 1 cucumber 
• 4 tablespoons of light Italian dressing 

Drain garbanzo beans, corn, and black olives.   Dice cucumber and red pepper.   Mix everything in a large mixing bowl.  Makes about 4 servings.

Then I divide the salad up into individual servings using Glad To Go Lunch containers.  These containers are amazing!!  Now we have an easy lunch that we can quickly grab right out of the refrigerator.

Glad To Go Lunch containers now come with little dressing cups.  I love making salads for lunch but I always forget to add the dressing in the morning because I’m always in such a hurry.  Then I get to school and realize that I have to eat my salad without dressing, which ruins the entire salad.  Now I have one less thing to worry about.   I can make a big salad, divide it up into containers for the entire week and add my dressing all in one night.  Such a brilliant and convenient feature!

I also love using them to take carrots with low fat ranch dressing or apples with peanut butter for a healthy afternoon snack.  Now these handy little dressing cups keep everything separate until I’m ready to eat.

Glad food storage products are perfect for storing and transporting food.  Glad food storage containers definitely make packing lunches easy. I can pack lunches and leftovers in Glad To Go containers and I don’t have to worry about what I’m going to eat for lunch the next day.  I love it!!

I can literally just grab and go!!
