Roast Beef Roll-Ups
They’re easy, they’re fresh, they’re full of protein, and they’re delicious. A lunch time success.
All you need to do for this lunch is grab your favorite deli meat, slice some crunchy veggies, and have sprig of chive for each bundle. Use the deli meat as a wrapper and fill it with your crunchy veggies, last tie the sprig of chive around the bundle keeping it tight and in place. Dip into a sauce of your choice (ours is dijon mustard). We complete our meal with some fresh berries.
