Krab Salad with Green Goddess
Fake crab, real flavor. A whole pack of krab, crunchy vegetables and a creamy herb dressing that tastes like a fancy restaurant made it. Nobody has to know it came out of a plastic tray.

Lazy tip
Imitation crab is cooked fish (usually pollock) pressed into crab shape. It's safe to eat cold, straight from the pack.

Mediterranean Tuna Protein Bowl
The lunch that makes everyone at the table look at their sad sandwich. Tuna, chickpeas, crunchy vegetables, olives and feta with a lemon dressing. It packs perfectly and actually tastes better a few hours later.

Dorm Italian Beef
Chicago's greatest sandwich, built in a microwave. Thin beef, hot jus, spicy giardiniera and a roll that soaks it all up. Get it dipped, grab a napkin, and don't tell anyone from Chicago how easy this was.

Rotisserie Chicken Torta
Mexico's greatest sandwich, built from a grocery store chicken. A crusty roll, warm beans, juicy chicken, avocado and pickled jalapeños. It's big, messy and has more protein than most dinners.
