Tuna salad

I am sure this happened to you as well – coming home, no cooked food left and no energy to do the groceries at that hour. I find it useful to have some cans of tuna in brine, olives, corn, green peas, and kidney beans in the pantry – for emergency situations like these. In addition, I am sure you have some veggies and green leaves to throw in as well. So let’s go!

Course: Salad
Servings: 2
Calories: 205kcal

Ingredients

  • 150 g tuna in brine canned, drained
  • 6 black olives canned, drained
  • 6 green olives canned, drained
  • 150 g sweet corn canned, drained
  • 1/8 red bell pepper
  • a handful of rocket salad and other greens mix
  • juice from a lemon
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • Wash the salad mix, even if it says 'ready to eat, no washing needed' (I don't trust the industry, I just don't).
  • Add the tuna to a bowl and break the chunks into smaller flakes, this will allow the lemon dressing to season the meat evenly.
  • Add the corn, the olives and the finely sliced bell pepper piece to the bowl.
  • Squeeze the lemon juice on top, season with salt and give it a good toss.
  • You are ready! Enjoy!
