Just because you're slammed at work doesn't mean you need to eat a sad desk lunch. Make this 10-minute chickpea, broccoli rabe, tomato and cucumber salad by nutritionist Keri Glassman. It's quick, easy and vegetarian. Win-win-win.


Ingredients

½ cup red onion, diced

2 tablespoons lemon juice

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon pepper

4. In a small bowl mix mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper until well combined.

5. Pour over salad, toss until coated, and enjoy or store in the fridge to have throughout the week.
