Components of a well-made lunch
For the kids or kid in each of us
Tuck these deli favorites into school lunches as sides to a sandwich or other main course. Or, combine with other PCC Kid Picks faves like roasted fingerling potatoes, rotisserie chicken halves, BBQ drumettes or marinated tofu. Look for the Kid Picks logo the next time you shop, or browse the Kid Picks database for options. Please note that our delis offer fresh options each day; not all items will be available at all times.
- Whole-wheat Lemon Capellini — A zesty mix of dainty, angel-hair pasta.
- Turkish Garbanzo Salad — A wallop of flavor that delivers on nutrition, too: manganese, folate, dietary fiber, tryptophan, protein and more!
- Tofu Egg Salad — Yummy in a pita, between slices of Essential Baking Company bread or spread on crackers.
