Let's do lunch

Lunch to go
By The Canadian Living Test Kitchen

When we polled our readers, asking what they would like to pack for lunch, we got an array of suggestions. "Some quick, healthy salads or pasta lunches would be great," says Joan Edgington of Blind Bay, B.C. Jennifer Langhorst of Edmonton agrees, saying, "Pasta or Greek salads are filling and healthy and taste great." Homemade soup is a favourite of Liz Ritchie of Brampton, Ont., and Janice Ellis of Tyne Valley, P.E.I., says, "The food that would entice me away from the cafeteria is a good homemade soup or a tasty casserole." Liz Maloan of Richmond Hill, Ont., likes "one-dish salads that could easily be prepared and carried in one container." And "Wraps are where it's at," says Sue Anderson of London, Ont. So in response to your suggestions, here are recipes to savour.
