Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ounces lean turkey breast slices (deli-sliced smoked turkey recommended)
- ¼ cup classic or roasted garlic hummus (store-bought or homemade)
- ½ cup cucumber slices
- ½ cup baby carrots
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes
- ¼ cup raw almonds or mixed nuts
- Lemon wedges (optional)
- Pinch of za’atar seasoning or smoked paprika
Instructions
- Rinse and pat dry cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and baby carrots. Slice cucumber into thin rounds about ¼ inch thick. Halve cherry tomatoes if desired.
- Lay out about 4 ounces of turkey breast slices on a clean surface. Fold or cut into smaller, bite-sized pieces if slices are large.
- Scoop ¼ cup of hummus into a small airtight container or silicone cup. Sprinkle a pinch of za’atar or smoked paprika on top.
- Place turkey slices in one compartment of the bento box, fresh veggies in another, and hummus in its container. Add a handful (¼ cup) of raw almonds or mixed nuts in a separate section.
- Add a lemon wedge if desired for squeezing over veggies or turkey before eating. Close the lid tightly to keep everything fresh.
- Store the bento box in the refrigerator if preparing ahead. Consume within 2-3 days for best freshness. Keep lemon wedge separate until ready to eat to avoid sogginess.
Notes
Use thin, folded turkey slices for easy eating and to avoid heaviness. Stir hummus with a teaspoon of olive oil if too thick. Keep nuts separate to maintain crunch. Add lemon juice just before eating to prevent soggy veggies. Store veggies wrapped in paper towel to keep crispness.
