Favorite cold lunches?

I work in outside sales, so I’m in the car all day and don’t usually have access to a microwave to heat up my lunches. What are your favorite make-ahead lunches that can be eaten cold/room temp? (I have an insulated lunchbox, so no worries about it needing to stay cold.) Looking for something with a decent amount of protein. I also, for some reason, don’t like the taste of cold leftover chicken… but other meats don’t both me. Thanks!

Yeti makes a great thermos that stays hot. My husband is also on the road all day and he does not like sandwiches.

Thank you! Will have to look into a thermos. I don’t dislike sandwiches, but that’s been the obvious “go-to” for so long, looking for some variety.

Don't buy anything from Yeti. They are overpriced. Plenty of cheaper thermoses out there that do just as good.
