Bento #8

Here’s another very simple bento.


Yesterday I wrote up my bento post really fast. I have been in a bento block for a little while and wanted to get that post up as soon as I could because I finally came up with a bento I felt worthy of posting.

Well this bento consists of a chicken salad lettuce wrap. The chicken salad is made up of baked chicken breast (shredded), shredded cheese, carrot sticks, boiled egg, with a small amount of Hidden Valley Ranch Dip Mix and Kraft Mayonnaise with lime juice. The wrap is romaine lettuce. You can also see three little wraps made from the remaining pieces of the lettuce leaves. Waste not want not. There is also walnuts and trail mix along with Michigan grown Fuji apple slices and a Baby Bel cheese round.

I was looking to make something very simple and light but filling and I think this bento hit the nail on the head.

Until the next bento.

Itadaki masu!

Hi Lia, My first ones fell apart the other day, I guess I didn't roll them right, but they where still very tasty. I am so hooked on them now.

Love how the lettuce is wrapped round and secured with a food pick - Like a lock on a treasure chest! :o)
