Salmon Salad Recipe
-sorry for the lack of measurements, I was doing it all by the teaspoon (not the measuring spoon kind!) and just judged by consistency and taste!
Can Salmon
Cottage Cheese (just enough so the Salmon is still a bit dry)
1tbsp sour cream
Feta, crumbled
Cucumber, Grated and squeezed dry
Dill
Green Onion
Pepper
Seasoning Salt
Minced Garlic

Mix the cottage cheese with the salmon - just enough so it is still slightly dry.
Add everything else and mix well.
Serve as a sandwich or wrap filling, with crackers, add to the top of a salad ... it's very yummy - a little Mediterranean in flavour. Come to think of it, it might be good with a dash of Oregano. I'll try that next time

Bento #23

A very veggie / fruit heavy bento - I wanted to use stuff up before it wilted.

2 mini sandwiches - blackberry jelly with a penguin cutout and underneath that is a ham & cheese with a bunny cutout.

Cucumber cream cheese salad - which I topped with grape tomatoes after taking the photo.

Snow peas crammed in between everything

Enoki mushrooms sauteed in a little butter with some garlic

And finally, a strawberry, apricot and pineapple fruit salad.

Bento #22

Quickie lunch for Saturday.

Fish shaped sandwiches - one egg salad and one PB&J - we got this really great low calorie jam from superstore, it's pomegranate and black currant. I always loved black currant jam as a kid (it came in a blue plastic tub with a white lid), and I love pomegranate now. I don't normally eat sandwiches, let alone PB&J, and this is the third time this week I've had it, that's how good the jam is.

Meatballs with teriyaki sauce and pineapple.

Grapes
Strawberry
Snow Peas
Grape tomatoes

Outside the box is a clementine and a taro pudding jelly cup
Bringing but not shown - a juice box (apple, orange, peach) and chicken noodle cup a soup.

The Mister's box has an egg salad sandwich - no cute shapes, just cut into 3 pieces to fit in the box. He also gets the meatballs, snow peas and grapes.

He came home and reported that he showed his lunch to his co-workers, because he was so excited about his egg chick.
Two of them thought I was awesome and one of them wishes I was his wife.
