DIY Taco Salad Lunch Box Bowl image

The beauty of this recipe is that you can let your kids pick out their own favorite toppings ahead of time by choosing 1 protein, 2 or 3 veggies, 1 whole grain and 1 or 2 toppings. Then all you need to do is pack the ingredients in individual containers, and let them do the rest of the work!
