A Snacky Bento Box for a Grown-up: Mediterranean Mezza

Mostly when I pack bento box lunches, I make them for my kids, but sometimes -- when he's very lucky -- I pack them for my husband.

This is probably Zach’s favorite lunch of all the stuff I pack for him and I try to keep a lot of these items on hand to throw quick lunches together for him. To make it, I cut a whole wheat pita into wedges and put those in the largest section of our Yumbox Tapas (affiliate link). You can toast them and let them cool if you have time in the morning. Pita chips are even easier. Add some hummus or tzatziki to the dip well. Chop a little cucumber and mix it with grape tomatoes. Then dice some feta cheese and mix it together with pitted kalamata olives. For an extra special treat, pick up a few dolmas from the deli or salad bar while you’re at the grocery store and add those to the lunch box too. At lunch time you can dip the pita into the hummus or spread it on the bread and sprinkle it with the veggies, cheese and olives and eat it like a tiny slice of pizza. So amazing!
