Spicy Canellini Bean and Tuna Salad
You should always have beans and tuna in the cupboard. They are cheap, tasty, and can form the basis of a variety of meals. Even better, you can put them together and add salad ingredients and voila, you have a healthy, filling snack.
Need:
Canned beans, rinsed and drained (I usually use cannellini, but any beans will work)
Medium size can of tuna, half drained
1 cup rocket or other leaves
1 tomato, diced
1 tsp sambal oelek (chilli paste) or any chilli/sweet chilli sauce
Do:
Put in bowl. Eat.
Stats:
Health: This is a super healthy number. The beans are a good source of dietary fibre and the tuna is full of healthy omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, plus you are getting a massive four out of five (females) or six (males) recommended serves of veg and legumes for the day.
Cost: $5 plus the sambal oelek (around $3 from an Asian grocers)
Difficulty: Ready in 3 seconds!
Variations: Spicy not for you? Try with a splash of balsamic vinegar instead. Swap the tuna for fetta cheese for a vegetarian option.
