Juicy oranges, sweet berries, and creamy honey goat cheese over crisp greens make a fresh, energizing side or meal for long shifts. Sliced almonds bring the perfect crunch along with healthy fats to keep you fueled. Light enough for a quick lunch between calls, yet satisfying enough to keep you out of the snack cabinet an hour later.
This slaw’s got crunch with a kick. Tri-colored cabbage gets a flavor upgrade from garlic, tangy rice vinegar, a touch of brown sugar, and a hit of gochujang (or sriracha if your station’s out). It’s sweet, spicy, and slightly pickled, aka the perfect cool, crisp contrast to those savory Korean BBQ tacos. Bonus: it takes 5 minutes to make and brings the whole dish to life.
