I knocked this up for lunch in minutes on a recent surfing holiday in Devon – mainly from jars and tins from the local shop. Our hungry surfers loved it, as did we. If you aren’t serving four, simply halve the ingredients; or double them up for a crowd.
- 100g young spinach or mixed salad leaves
- 1 × 400g can mixed beans in water, drained and rinsed
- 1 × 280g jar roasted or char-grilled capsicums in oil, drained (around 170g drained weight), cut into roughly 2cm pieces
- 2 × 110g cans tuna steak in water or brine, drained
- ½ small red onion, peeled and cut into thin rings
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- juice 1 small lemon
COOK’S TIPS
For extra flavour and omega-3, scatter a few anchovies over before the onion is added. You’ll need roughly 8 anchovy fillets, drained and roughly chopped, which will add an extra 8cals per serving.
- 1. Scatter the spinach leaves over a large platter or into a wide salad bowl and top with the beans and capsicums. Toss very lightly together.
- 2. Flake the tuna on top of the salad, add the red onion, drizzle with the oil and lemon juice, season with lots of ground black pepper and serve.
