Step 1
Chop the tomatoes, cucumber, and olives, then toss them together in a bowl with some crumbled feta cheese. Drizzle enough salad dressing over everything to lightly coat the ingredients, and give it a good stir to combine all the flavors. Next, portion out the salad into your bento boxes. Add a serving of couscous and a scoop of hummus to each box, then finish with a handful of pita chips on the side. It’s a simple, fresh meal that’s ready to enjoy!
