Tuna Salad – Mostly New World

• This salad is based mostly on vegetables that came from the New World.
• It is very colourful.
• The proportions are not so important – I have given what I used.
• It is best to use a different colour for the pepper to the chilli so you can tell the difference.

Ingredients

• 1 tin of Tuna – drained
• 1 avocado – peeled and sliced or chopped
• *
• 1 tin of Beans – Cannellini, Pinto or Mixed – drained
• 4 tomatoes – chopped
• 1 small tin of sweetcorn – drained (or cooked frozen sweetcorn)
• Yellow or Orange Pepper – chopped
• 2 red chillies – chopped fine
• 1 bunch of spring onions – white and green parts chopped
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1-2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
• Salt & pepper to taste.

Method

• In a large bowl mix all the vegetables except the avocado.
• Pour over the lemon juice and olive oil and season.
