01
Step 1
Start by tossing the mozzarella pearls, tomatoes, and basil together in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and garlic until combined. Pour this dressing over the tomato mixture and gently stir to coat everything. Season with a little salt and pepper, then pop it in the fridge to chill for about an hour.

Step 2
While that’s chilling, mix up the dressing for the roll-ups. Combine balsamic vinegar, mayonnaise, honey, garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Transfer it to a jar or container and put it in the fridge until you’re ready to use it.

Step 3
When you’re ready to assemble, spread some of the creamy balsamic dressing over a tortilla. Layer on baby spinach, turkey slices, and Muenster cheese, then sprinkle chopped raspberries on top. Drizzle a bit more dressing if you like, then roll the tortilla up tightly from one edge into a long tube. Slice it into about 1-inch pieces and use toothpicks to hold them together if needed.

Step 4
Pack the turkey roll-ups and the chilled Caprese salad into your bento box. Add some sugar snap peas and almonds on the side, and include a little container of the balsamic dressing for dipping if you want. Enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
This meal offers a fresh and healthy balance of flavors. The juicy tomatoes and creamy mozzarella pair perfectly with the savory turkey. It’s quick to prepare and great for a light lunch or snack.
How to serve
Serve with a side of mixed greens or baby carrots for added crunch. A drizzle of balsamic glaze can add a sweet tangy finish to the salad. Pair with a chilled drink to keep it refreshing.
Storage & leftovers
Keep the components separate until ready to eat to maintain freshness. Store the salad in an airtight container in the fridge and consume within one day. Wrap the roll-ups tightly in plastic wrap to prevent drying out.
