LENTIL, TUNA & TOMATO SALAD


This is another salad from the 5:2 Fast Diet and very low on calories. Only 218 calories. It is delicious and I can eat it any time regardless if I am dieting or not. 

INGREDIENTS

400g can brown lentils, rinsed and drained
185g can tuna, drained and flaked
1 Lebanese cucumber, chopped coarsely
2 small tomatoes, chopped coarsely
2 green onions, sliced thinly
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1/4 cup drained cornichons, halved

METHOD:
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. 
If you are taking this salad to work, divide it into 2 lunch boxes without the dressing.
Pour the dressing, the lemon juice and the garlic, into two small jars and drizzle on top of the salad just before eating it.


I like to get it out of the fridge 15-20 minutes before to be able to eat it at room temperature.

Serves 2
