Hi, Love to make up lunches in my tiffin or bento boxes. It allows me to have variety and healthier choices. It's a great way to use up leftovers from dinners and introduce new and fun flavour combinations. Hopefully this will inspire you as well. #prepandpack

Steps

1

Drain water chestnuts and pat dry. season with plenty of salt, pepper and spices of your choice. I like to use Chilli, thyme and paprika on mine. (You might like to add lemon juice or a light vinegar and olive oil dressing as well)
2

Season avocado well and add to water chestnuts.
3

Defrost edamame beans and simmer for a few minutes in boiling water. Drain and set aside too cool.
4

Mix together the cold meats (I used leftover chicken breasts in this photo), pickled beetroot, cubed cheese and cooled edamame.
5

Pack the remaining dates, crackers and Strawberies in your third container/tiffin or bento compartment.

I love to celebrate community and culture through food. I am originally from St Helena Island in the South Atlantic Ocean and have been cooking and sharing my love of St Helenian food everywhere I go. As a foodie and home cook, I love to share those easy and versatile recipes from my home country. I hope you will try and love them too. EnjoyIG: @saintcooks
