No bloating carbs, plenty of protein and super simple to make…….just be sure to tell everyone where you got the recipe, OK?!!
Prep time: 10 minutes $ Low Budget
Serves 2
2 large handfuls of baby rocket
1 x 400gm tin of cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
2 x 95gm tins of tuna in springwater or brine, drained
1 punnet of baby grape tomatoes, halved
1 cup of pitted kalamata olives
50gm of goats cheese
1/2 a red onion, sliced
2 tbs of chopped fresh continental parsley
2 tbs of extra virgin olive oil
2 tbs of white balsamic vinegar (normal balsamic is fine too)
Sea salt and cracked pepper
Combine the the rocket, tuna, beans, tomatoes, onion and olives in a large bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil and balsamic vinegar, sprinkle with sea salt and pepper and toss really well to combine.
