Vegetarian lunch recipes

Just because meat isn't on the menu doesn't mean lunch has to be a sad desk salad or leave you rummaging through the snack cupboard an hour later. These vegetarian lunch ideas are packed with colour, flavour and plenty of goodness to keep you feeling satisfied right through to dinner. 

Try vibrant grain bowls, loaded toast, warming soups and veggie-packed tacos. These meatless lunches prove that skipping meat doesn't mean missing out. In fact, it might just be the excuse you need to shake up your lunchtime routine. Looking for more ways to make vegetables the star of the show?
