Washington DC, DCA Regan Airport, Healthy Meal Option When Your Flight is Delayed

The Euro Café, DCA Ronald Regan Airport, Gates 2-9 area
Caffe Latte, $3.65, 4 / 5 Stars and Salad Nicoise, $7.99, 3 / 5 Stars
The caffe latte for a large, 20oz, I thought was reasonable compared with Starbucks Venti price, The latte was good, not strong, but also not bitter, so I appreciated that no additional sweetener was required for me to enjoy it.
Admittedly the Salad Nicoise was not great, (dry canned tuna, hard white beans, a modest half a boiled egg, potato chucks, string beans, two kalamala olives, and acceptably fresh romaine lettuce).  But this is airport food so the choices are limited.  Healthy, low fat and reasonably priced options are scare so this seemed to be the best option.  Ordinary carby pitas and sandwiches were running $6.99 and I saw lots of people eating chips, pop, and other make-me-fat sources, so when Air Canada delays your flight twice, an overpriced very so-so Salad Nicoise may be the best option when stuck at the DCA airport.
