Simply drizzle with the pre-mixed dressing, and you have a low-calorie yet satisfying lunch that's healthier than takeout. Enjoy it without the afternoon food coma.
Ingredients (Serves 1)
- 6 cooked shrimp (peeled and cut into segments)
- ½ zucchini (peeled)
- 3 cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 30g lettuce (torn into pieces)
- 50g cooked quinoa
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- ⅛ tsp salt
- A pinch of cracked black pepper
Instructions
1. Shred the Zucchini
Cut the zucchini into thick chunks and place them in the vegetable chopper. Rotate four times clockwise to create fine, even strips. This method preserves the zucchini's crisp-tender texture without making it watery—each bite is refreshing and light, perfect for an office-friendly 'low-guilt' meal.
2. Dry the Lettuce
After washing and tearing the lettuce, place it in the salad spinner attachment of the food chopper. Spin for about 15 seconds to remove all excess moisture. Damp lettuce would make the quinoa and zucchini soggy—drying it keeps the base layer crisp and fresh until you're ready to eat.
3. Assemble the Lunch Box
Layer the lunch box in this order: cooked quinoa, dried lettuce, zucchini ribbons, shrimp pieces, and cherry tomatoes.
In a small separate container, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
When it's time to eat, simply drizzle the dressing over the ingredients and toss gently. No reheating needed—enjoy a clean, convenient meal right at your desk.
Conclusion
The star of this office lunch box is the Geedel vegetable chopper-prepared zucchini—uniform, crisp, and never soggy, solving the common problems of hand-cut unevenness and excess moisture. With simple yet thoughtful preparation, even basic ingredients come together into a refreshing and satisfying midday meal, perfectly suited to the fast-paced office lifestyle.
