Summer Salad....High Protein
Got a new sunshine High protein meal for you.... Spanish Potato Salad Makes 4 (generous) portions, 335 cals per portion, carbs 33.5g, fat 9.9g, Protein 26g Ingredients: New Potatoes - large tin or 450g small new potatoes, boiled, skin on 2 large eggs, hard boiled Small tin of petit pois with carrots (or my version, using frozen special mixed veg, about 350g, boiled or just soaked in kettle boiled water for 5 - 10 mins until soft) 2 x cans of tuna in brine, drained 4- 5 tablespoons of lighter than light mayonnaise ( I use Batts, from Lidl) 4 x spring onions, sliced Dash of lemon juice Salt & pepper to taste Optional ingredients- 75g olives, frozen special mixed veg, chopped cucumber, 12 x cherry tomatoes, halved - the calorie count pp includes all of these items) Method: not much to it really, boil potatoes and eggs, drain and cool. In a large bowl, slice the cooled potatoes into 1/4cm slices( or if you have one, use an egg slicer) eggs the same, add all other ingredients and tuna, chuck in mayonnaise, lemon juice (about a tablespoon is enough for a touch of tang, otherwise as much or little as you want), salt & pepper to taste, then combine. If you fancy it, you can sprinkle fresh chopped chives and /or parsley over the top for a flourish! Alternatively, substitute the ultra light mayonnaise for a Vinegarette dressing - I've used the fat free French dressing from Tesco before now, just a slightly different feel to it but just as tasty. This is so simple a supper to throw together, taking little or no time if you use all tins and is actually really cheap, given how much you get once you put everything together. It's really filling and as you can see, gives you a healthy portion of carbs and protein. Enjoy!
