cold lunch
No microwave needed
A cold lunch is a midday meal that doesn't require heating—sandwiches, salads, cheese, cold cuts, fruit.
The term often implies something simple or packed from home rather than a hot restaurant meal: I just brought a cold lunch today.
In some workplaces, a cold lunch distinguishes bag lunches from catered hot food.
