Serve these sandwiches for a healthy dinner or light lunch. 04 of 15 Egg Salad English-Muffin Sandwich View Recipe Brie Passano When you boil eggs ahead of time, it's easy to create a lickety-split and delightful lunchtime egg salad. And using the flavorful leafy carrot tops in it is like getting herbs for free. 05 of 15 Pulled Chicken & Pickled Veggie Wraps View Recipe These colorful chicken wraps are perfect for a crowd.
