something similar that would freeze for lunches!I can do soups and he will take leftover stir-fry but I need some new healthy ideas. He's not keen on making sandwiches and is allergic to all seafood. Would like to have something he can just grab as he leaves early. He does cook in the evenings, but has got into the habit of just grabbing fruit and yoghurt and I think he needs some protein at lunch.

Yoghurt is protein. Pasta salad has no protein - it is just carbs. So if you want your hubby to eat protein then let him have his yoghurt.
