Bored with sandwiches at lunch time? Why not make this easy salad to take to the office or to give to the kids in their packed lunch. It is quick enough to make in the morning or better still, prepare it the night before - eat half for supper and keep some for the following day - just add a few extra veggies, if needed, to bulk it out. You can add whatever veg you have in the fridge, try grated carrot, diced red pepper, cooked peas or sweetcorn. Pack in a container and keep chilled until ready to serve
