Recipe I: Tuna salad

Let's start the recipe section with something very, very Mediterranean (what can I say? I miss home!). Salads are a delicious and very easy way to eat healthy food. Besides, you can basically put anything in them! Take into account, though, that depending on the ingredients they will contain more or less calories. This is one of my favourites:

Tuna salad (around 300/350 kcal)

Ingredients for 1 person:

• 1/2 iceberg lettuce (I like iceberg, but any kind of lettuce will do the trick)
• 5 or 6 cherry tomatoes
• 1/4 white or red onion
• 1/2 can of tuna (preferably in olive or vegetal oil)
• 3 crabsticks
• Olive oil
• Salt & Pepper
• Balsamic vinegar

Preparation:

• Cut the lettuce and the onion and put them in a colander.
• Add the cherry tomatoes. 
• Run some water through the ingredients until you deem them clean and drain them.
• Put the lettuce, the onion and the tomatoes on a medium-sized plate. 
• Open the tuna can and pour half of it on top of the vegetables (be careful with the oil!)
• Cut the crabsticks into small pieces and add to the plate. 
• Add the salt and pepper, but don't overdo it!
• Season the salad with the olive oil and the balsamic vinegar. Don't put too much of either if you want to keep the salad healthy.

There you go! A really cheap, yummy dish in less than ten minutes. Remember not to be too hard on the oil, for it adds a lot of unnecessary calories!

Enjoy!
