Salads
I love salads for breakfast and lunch. I find them more filling and they do not make me feel sleepy in the early afternoon.
Tuna Salad
I love this salad as it is fast to make and most of the ingredients I always have at home. The recipe combines number of sensations and tastes to tickle your senses. We have sweet (corn), umami (tuna), salty (dressing, celery), crunchy (celery, nuts), spicy (mustard), sour (yoghurt/kefir). This is one of the reasons it is a perfect lunch box food.
Ingredients
1 can of tuna chunks in water
1-2 tbsp corn
1 celery stalk
0.5 yellow/green/red pepper
0.25 red onion
2 tbsp pine nuts, roasted
Dressing: 1 tbsp mayo, 1 tbsp mustard (I like to use strong mustard line Colmans), 1 tbsp kefir or yoghurt, salt and pepper
Optional: dried herbs
Instructions
Divide drained tuna to smaller pieces. Dice celery, red onion, and pepper.
Mix tuna with veggies then add the dressing.
Top it up with pine nuts and dried herbs.
