The simplest protein lunch from a corner shop.
no cooking
Equipment: None - no cooking
Measures and names
Ingredients
- 1–2 packs of ready-boiled eggs
- 1 small block or pack of cheese (or 2 Babybel)
- 1 pack of cherry tomatoes
- ½ cucumber or a small bag of salad
- 1 small pack of nuts
Optional extras
- Small pot of olives
Method
- Peel the eggs and pair with the cheese as your protein.
- Add the tomatoes, cucumber and a small pack of nuts.
- Eat as a simple snack plate — no fork or plate really needed.
- It’s the easiest backup when a shop has little fresh food. Taste before adding salt — the olives already season the dish.
Swaps and tips
Boiled eggs, cheese and nuts are stocked almost everywhere, even in the smallest shops and petrol stations. A reliable fallback on a busy day.
