Monbento Square #4 (Double Tier)

A Gardein breakfast sausage patty with a biscuit to make a biscuit sandwich at lunchtime, a creamy pesto dressing (I mixed up some jarred vegan pesto with Vegenaise), some crispy roasted chickpeas (to use as salad croutons), and a colorful salad of baby lettuces, bell pepper, corn, tomatoes, red onion, and carrot shreds, and cucumber. (You can't see the cucumber or carrot much here unless you look closely--I buried them under other veggies, apparently--but they're there.)

I wanted to try something different with a portion of a can of chickpeas I had leftover from another recipe, so I didn't make hummus for once and just roasted them in my toaster oven. I didn't have that many, so it seemed like they should be croutons. I liked them as such, but they did tend to fall down to the bottom of the salad.

Is a sausage biscuit and salad a logical packed lunch? I don't know. But it's what I had and it was pleasant.

  1. I haven't had a biscuit sandwich in a while; I'll have to do that soon! And I love the idea of using roasted chickpeas as croutons!

  2. I freaking love biscuits and they are the best vehicle for a breakfast sandwich in my opinion! This sounds like an amazing meal and that salad looks beautiful!

    1. Yes, they are the BEST for breakfast sandwiches, unquestionably.

  3. Who cares about logic? It all looks good to me!
    I love making crispy chickpeas, they are good as snacks or for salads or on baked potatoes, and you can make all sorts of flavours.

    1. I hadn't ever thought of putting them on a baked potato! I really should eat more baked potatoes, probably. They're really versatile.

    2. I am big into baked potatoes at the moment. Though I normally 'bake' them in the microwave because it is so fast,then pop them under the grill (broiler) in the oven for five minutes to crisp up.
