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!

Wheat Berry Salad with Goat Cheese

I love this salad. You can make it Sunday and it will last all week. You can buy a bag of wheat berries from Amazon, they are very economical. I love this with pita chips.
