DIY TACO SALAD LUNCH BOX BOWL
The beauty of this recipe is that you can let your kids pick out their own favorite toppings ahead of time by choosing 1 protein, 2 or 3 veggies, 1 whole grain and 1 or 2 toppings. Then all you need to do is pack the ingredients in individual containers, and let them do the rest of the work!

DANA'S TACO SALAD
This is my health-oriented twist to my Aunt Linda's recipe. Lentils add fiber and protein without fat and without compromising the taste! For additional texture, sprinkle in some crushed corn chips.
