You can assemble a tasty homemade lunch as fast as your kids will eat it! Grab a bento-style lunch box and add:

  • Salami: use your favorite salami.

You’ll find the measurements in the recipe card below. Learn more about how to pack balanced bento box lunches here.

How to pack this school lunch idea

Keep this Salami and Cheese Bento lunch box fresh and crunchy until lunchtime by packing it correctly. Here is how to keep it fresh:

  1. Pack salami, cheese, and crackers
    Place salami and cheese slices inside the lunchbox. Pair with whole-grain crackers. 
  2. Add veggies
    In a separate compartment, pack veggies. 
  3. Dips & Treats
    If you want a dip, like Ranch of hummus, pack it separately in a small lidded container. You can also add a treat in a separate compartment, like sliced fruit, berries, healthy cookies, or these Chocolate No-Bake Brownie Energy Bites.

If your kids are big fans of Salami, try my cucumber salami sandwiches or salami and cheese sandwich next.!

Lunch Packing tips

Who wants to make lunches early in the morning? No one. Lunches like this one can be made the night before and kept fresh in the fridge. Here is how:

Save time
You can prep this salami and cheese bento lunch completely ahead, so you just have to open the fridge, and grab the lunchbox. 

Prevent spills
If you add a dip, be sure to pack it in a small lidded container or in a separate leak-proof compartment.
