Product Information

It’s highly customizable. Is one of those recipes that are perfect to “clean your fridge”, you can add other vegetables, use water-canned tuna, add other ingredients, etc.

Add more vegetables: Sliced in half grape tomatoes or cherry tomatoes, chopped cucumber, diced celery, chopped lettuce. Vegetables - Cucumbers, celery, radish, and onions chopped into small bits will add crunch, texture, color, and nutrition.I use broccoli instead. Ahh, I hear you say, broccoli has a similar season to beans (June, July August), my broccoli might come from Spain or Italy. Ahh, I hear you say again, you must buy avocados all year round – and what about all those bananas and pineapples – they cannot be grown in a non-tropical country.

Seasonality helps us to appreciate a sense of time and place – to locate ourselves on a culinary calendar that ebbs and flows with the natural rhythm of the seasons. Take beans. To grow your own beans is a pure delight. They are easy and bountiful. The growing, harvesting and eating all express the quintessential essence of ‘summer’. And nothing tastes quite so special. Boil the eggs. Ahh – but for how long? Very good question… It depends on so many things that if I – or anybody else – attempt to tell you precisely we will be wrong. So it’s best to do a trial with individual eggs, peeling and cutting to see the result of your timings – then replicating for the remainder. NB: The eggs in my photo were, large free range white eggs taken from the fridge and plunged in lots of boiling water. They were boiled for 8 minutes and then drained and rested for 1 minute and then plunged into cold water. I like them cooked so they hard but soft – if you see what I mean – if any part is still runny, I find this can be cloying and leave an uncomfortably raw eggy taste in the mouth… Make the dressing: In a small bowl, combine yogurt, mayo, lime juice, taco seasoning, salt and pepper. Whisk with a small whisk or fork to combine.The good news is you may already have all the ingredients on hand! But if not, you can grab them at pretty much any grocery store. Seasonings: I use low sodium homemade taco seasoning, salt and pepper. If you use not low sodium taco seasoning, add less salt. First, do the prep work. Dice the bell pepper, red onion, and cilantro. Open the tuna and drain the oil or water. It is ready in 15 minutes with no cooking required. And not only it is absolutely delicious and full of different textures and bright flavors, it is also a good source of protein. Perfect for healthy lunch!

Moderately active - Do light to moderate intensity exercise 3-4 times a week. E.g. going to the gym / swimming / cycling / horse riding / dance classes / playing golf. Daily dog walking (brisk pace, twice a day). Make the no-mayo salad dressing. Whisk together 2 ½ teaspoons Dijon mustard, the zest of 1 lime, the juice of 1 ½ limes, ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil, ½ teaspoon sumac, and ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (if you like a bit of heat). Season with kosher salt and pepper to taste. WDC likes to cook with seasonal produce. So a salad Niçoise presents a problem. Normally, salad Niçoise is made with beans. This means I can only eat a Niçoise when beans are in season. Although the English season is long enough to eat plenty of salad Niçoise – it does not start until quite late in the summer. So what do I do if I want my Niçoise earlier? Add cheese: Shredded sharp cheddar cheese or Mexican cheese, and crumbled feta cheese or cotija cheese will add even more flavor. Drain and flake tuna: Drain in a colander and then give a squeeze with your hands. Less water in a tuna salad is always better.Avocado. Adding diced avocado to your tuna salad is a great way to add extra creaminess, flavor, and healthy fats! Extra virgin olive oil - A robust EVOO like our Hojiblanca Spanish olive oil is a good option, with its fruity notes and peppery finish. It’s got so much flavor and a ton of texture, so this is one desk lunch that’s anything but boring! It’s exciting and fun, and it’s definitely not your momma’s tuna salad. 🐟 Recipe Ingredients Canned tuna is an awesome protein to work with because it’s budget friendly, healthy, and absolutely delicious. You can make fancier dishes like my Mediterranean tuna salad or something super simple like my spicy habanero tuna salad in lettuce wraps. Mercury levels in tuna can be a health concern, which is why my family eats it no more than once every two weeks. (Talk to your healthcare provider if you have concerns about eating canned tuna.)

Please note: This recipe is completely inauthentic. It is only inspired by the flavors I enjoyed when traveling in Mexico, and it’s made the way I like to eat to feel my best. Here’s a more authentic recipe that’s made with cucumber and shallots, if that’s what you’re after. Cook the greens. Just until tender. Plunge in cold water to stop cooking and keep the colour bright green.

Drain the fish. Don’t be tempted to use the oil. It is a very strange phenomenon: although the fish is kept perfectly well and is very tasty – the oil it is kept in is almost wretchingly fishy and metallic. Put it in your recycling pot – not your food.
