Salad for lunch is just plain smart. All that healthy protein and fresh veggies will keep your body feeling light and your brain focused and alert — so you'll never fall asleep during those important afternoon meetings. Of course there's no point in packing a healthy salad if it's so boring that you'll end up skipping it in favor of fried chicken from the corner store.

7 Days 7 Salad Recipes
With that in mind we’ve rounded up seven simple tricks and techniques that chefs use to make better more satisfying salads. Add a little extra protein here add a little flavor bonus there and you’ll create killer salads that will tantalize your taste buds fuel your afternoons and satisfy your hunger long after happy hour.
The worst thing that can happen to a salad is for it to lose its crispness by lunchtime. To keep everything fresh wrap each component separately or divide the ingredients with cupcake liners or parchment paper to ensure nothing leaks. A well-prepared Mason jar salad does this by ensuring that certain ingredients don’t touch each other. For example use a large slice of salami or cheese to prevent your lettuce from touching the tomatoes. With this Asian chicken salad pile mostly dry ingredients into one jar and spice things up in the afternoon with a spicy dressing from a separate container.
Over time greens tend to wilt. So if you’re wary of limp lettuce there are plenty of salads that skip the greens and get right to the exciting bits. This antipasto salad is a quick easy favorite—no greens in sight. Make it for your own lunch pack it in a kid’s lunch box or do as Allrecipe user KristyT did and bring it to share with coworkers. She says “This was easy to make and so delicious! I made it for a work lunch and it was a hit.”
