Ingredients

  • 3 teaspoons olive oil
  • juice of half a lemon
  • large pinch of dried mixed herbs
  • large pinch of mustard powder
  • large pinch of black pepper
  • 1 slice of pepper, chopped
  • 2 spring onions, sliced
  • 3cm piece of cucumber, chopped
  • 1 heaped tablespoon canned mixed beans in water, drained
  • half a 160g can of tuna in spring water, drained
  • 1 thick slice of wholemeal bread and lower-fat spread

Directions

1

Mix the oil, lemon juice, mixed herbs, mustard powder and black pepper.

2

Add to the salad vegetables, beans and tuna and mix gently. Information: Double the recipe to use the rest of the can of tuna and save for the next day.

3

Serve with the bread and lower-fat spread. Information: This would also work well with cold pasta as a pasta salad, instead of serving with bread.
