Now that our local supermarket no longer has a deli counter I am struggling to come up with suitable light lunches. I don't mind whether it is sandwich fillings, salad or something on toast. Do any of you have some suggestions for me to try and ring the changes for tasty lunch time alternatives? Thank you.

I sometimes drain a tin of tuna, mash it with a little mayonnaise and lemon juice, spread on Ryvita. And then eat more than I intended - it’s very tasty!

Slices of mozzarella and tomato, drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar, chopped fresh basil sprinkled over. Delicious!

Esspee

My favourite is avocado on toast. I slice the avocado, cover it in snipped spring onions, sliced baby tomatoes, salt and lots of lemon juice. Pile onto toast and if hungry top with a poached egg. Heaven.

Esspee try mashing it with a little crème fraiche then top with sliced baby tomatoes and a couple of slices of crispy bacon. Also a little added chilli.

Also Muffins with fried egg and brown sauce are another nice light lunch. The ancient grain muffins you can get in Waitrose are very nice.

Scrambled eggs on sourdough toast - mmmm!

Wrap with peanut butter inside, then a bit of fruit. Couldn't be easier!

I'm another fan of peanut butter at lunchtime - usually on a piece of home made wholewheat seed bread. Yum.

Cheese and tomato toasties - we have a breville toaster. Just be careful and wait a few minutes before eating as they are very hot- but super tasty ?.
