The Big Salad

[minithemeezer]

Salad:

• Torn lettuce leaves, other greens such as baby spinach
• Carrot
• Cucumber
• 1/4 avocado
• Finely sliced red onion
• Yellow capsicum (it's a pretty colour)
• Cherry tomatoes
• Can sliced tuna
• 1/4 small can four-bean mix, well drained
• Handful of raw cashews

Dressing:

• Glug good olive oil
• Dash balsamic vinegar
• Smidge lemon juice
• Tiny amount of sugar, salt and pepper

Mix and adapt flavourings to suit. You'll probably need more balsamic vinegar.

Fight off ribbing from dim sim-inhaling workmates.

Looks yumm!

the description didn't sound all that great but the pic changes it all.

Thanks . I'm going to start photographing my work lunches more often to build the perception that I'm a semi-dangerous nutter at the office. Makes life easier there.

I'll put a bit of Nigella into future recipes *laughs*.

Variations:

• Warmed leftover flathead fillets on top with an extra drizzle of lemon juice and ground pepper was delicious
• I don't eat chicken but I imagine chicken pieces would make a nice variation
• Add olives, sheep's feta and a sprinkling of oregano for a Greek-style twist
• If fat content isn't a problem, thin strips of Jarlsberg or Edamy-style cheese complement avocado and tuna beautifully
