These made an appearance in my bento pictured here. grape or cherry tomatoes fresh mozzarella sliced about 1/4" thick and cut to the same diameter as your tomatoes (I used stainless steel sakura shaped vegetable cutters {note: I only linked to kaboodle because it came up in a google image search}) fresh basil skewers (toothpicks work fine)

Here's one of our favorite make ahead, easy recipes from a friend that will last for quite a while in your fridge. We've had several people try this one who don't like beets and it was a hit. Beets with Balsamic Vinegar & Spices - 1 or 2 bunches of beets depending on how many you need (1 bunch is enough for 2 people for about a week) - Balsamic Vinegar (any good, cheap kind that you like) - Spice mix with garlic powder, onion powder or a little of both of those to sprinkle on - Cut beet greens from tops of beats just leaving the red part of the vegetable.
