Give it a go – your heart will thank you!
- 1 individual bag (60g) mixed salad leaves
- 90g tin of tuna or salmon, drained
- ⅓ tin chickpeas (no added salt), drained
- ¼ punnet cherry tomatoes, cut in half
- ¼ red capsicum, sliced
- 1 handful snow peas or green beans, trimmed
- 30g fetta, cottage cheese, or ricotta cheese (reduced fat)
- ¼ avocado, sliced
- 1 handful sliced almonds or sunflower seeds
For the Dressing:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
It’s this easy
- Add snow peas/beans to a microwave-safe container and cook on high for 2 minutes. Cool in fridge/freezer.
- In a small jar, add all dressing ingredients. Put the lid on the jar and shake well to combine. This will make enough for 2 salads.
- In a large dinner bowl, add a handful of salad leaves and top with the salmon or tuna. On top of this, layer the drained and rinsed chickpeas, the rest of the salad leaves, cherry tomatoes and then sliced capsicum. Add the cooked snow peas/beans. Top with your cheese of choice, avocado, and almonds or sunflower seeds.
- Dress with the vinaigrette and enjoy!
