SUPER TUNA PASTA
SALAD FETA AND CRISPY
CAYENNE CRUMBS
Tuna gives us a hit of vitamin D,
which in turn helps our bodies to
absorb calcium from the feta cheese
and natural yoghurt, and they’re what
makes this salad creamy and delicious.
Serves 4
Total time: 25 minutes
1 small red onion
2 lemons
250g dried pasta shells
350g broccoli
1 slice of wholemeal bread (50g)
ó teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cucumber
½ a bunch of fresh chives or dill (15g)
4 tablespoons natural yoghurt
2 x 120g tins of tuna in spring
water, from sustainable sources
50g feta cheese
stalk, halve the stalk lengthways,
then chuck it in with the pasta to
cook through. Chop the florets into
small bite-sized chunks, adding
them to the water for the last minute
only, just to take the rawness away.
Meanwhile, whiz the bread and
cayenne into crumbs in a food
processor, then toast in a dry non-
stick frying pan on a medium heat
until golden and crispy, tossing
regularly. Peel the cucumber, halve
lengthways and scrape out the
watery core, then finely slice. Finely
chop the herbs. Mix the yoghurt
into the lemony onion, then add
the cucumber and herbs. Drain the
pasta and broccoli, finely chop the
broccoli stalk, and add it all to the
bowl of dressing. Drain and flake
in the tuna, toss together well,
then taste and season to perfection.
Divide between your bowls, and
serve sprinkled with crumbled feta
and the hot crispy crumbs.
