Healthy lunch recipes
As easy as it is to snack on everything in sight whilst working from home, we would all like to say we are 'trying' to eat as healthy as possible. However, if you have already stocked up your fridge with a billion different things, but have no idea what to make with it, here's a few healthy ideas that we have tried and tasted which won't take up all of your time.
We'd love to see what you've created, so make sure to share with us any pictures through our social channels using

Once your bread is toasted, place your avocado onto the toast followed by the salmon slices.
