About this category

Lunch is where a lot of people slip back into sandwiches and pasta, so these recipes swap the starch for vegetables, protein and a good sauce. A chicken shawarma bowl with yogurt-tahini sauce, chicken tikka masala over cauliflower rice or Dan Dan noodles made with konjac all give you the feel of a takeout meal without the rice or wheat. Cobb salad with chicken, bacon and egg covers the classic option.

You will also find a whole run of Handkase dishes, the tangy German sour milk cheese, prepared in the air fryer, the oven, a skillet or a wok. It is low in fat and high in protein, so pairing it with avocado cream, bacon or walnuts rounds it out for keto.

If you eat at work, choose dishes that taste good at room temperature or reheat cleanly, such as bowls and skillets. Pack dressings and sauces in a separate container so greens stay crisp. Lettuce wraps with beef and wok vegetables are a handy alternative when you would otherwise reach for a tortilla, and leftovers from last night's dinner often make the easiest lunch of all.
