Small lunchbox upgrades

Five cheap swaps that make packed lunches worth opening.

Small lunchbox upgrades

Flaky salt instead of table salt. Same lunch, brighter everything.

A real dressing in a small jar: olive oil, lemon, salt, honey. Shaken at the desk, transformative on grains.

One crunchy thing: salted almonds, kettle chips, or toasted seeds. Texture is what packed lunches usually lack.

Fruit that survives a bag: apples, clementines, dried mango. Berries are for bowls, not backpacks.

And cheese. A wedge of aged cheddar fixes nearly any lunchbox situation.
