Nicoise Salad
Ingredients – Serves 1
80g lettuce of your choice – I liked mixed lettuce
30g cubed cucumber
80g tomatoes – I like cherry tomatoes
20 g olives cut in half
Half can tuna
1 boiled egg de-shelled
15g light mayonnaise
5g mustard – I like Dijon
Pinch salt and pepper
Squeeze of lemon juice – optional
Slice of crusty whole meal bread to serve (optional 5g butter/margarine)

Method
-
Hard boil your egg – approx. 7-8 minutes and take the shell off – leave to cool
-
In a bowl add your lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, olives and toss together
-
Add this mixture to a plate and cut your egg into quarters and scatter on the salad
-
Drain your tuna and flake half of the fish over your salad
-
In a small bowl or a mug, mix together the mayo, mustard, salt and pepper. If adding a squeeze of lemon add it to the bowl and mix together thoroughly
-
Using a teaspoon drizzle the mixture over the salad and enjoy!

If you want to serve this for dinner try adding some baby potatoes, sliced green beans and onion.
