This "Week" in Bento: March 30, 2011

I know, I know.. I can't really refer to one day as a week, thus my use of quotations.  This week I had an odd work schedule (because starting work at 10am instead of 6am is odd for me) and wasn't in my normal workspace, so the bentos just didn't happen.  I still had one though, and I must say, it's a pretty good one.  Better than nothing, right?

3-30-11 BBQ Chicken Salad Bento

First of all, have I mentioned that I love my new camera?  ^_^  Okay, okay, this bento features another transformation of leftovers.  Just like the steak salad bento from a couple weeks ago, I took meat from a previous dinner and mixed it with veggies for a lunch.  For this one, I just sliced up some bbq chicken breast, mixed it with roasted corn, red pepper, red onion, and cilantro.  I sprinkled a bit of quesadilla cheese on top and drizzled it with a light lime dressing.  It's perfect for bento since it doesn't need to be heated, and I had everything on hand so it was quick and simple to make!
