Weight Watchers Tuna and White Bean salad

Tonight we tried a tweak on this recipe

Variations? Of course - I don't think I am capable of following a recipe to the letter.

I spread a bed of mixed spinach and rocket leaves on a large platter - some salads just look fabulous on a plate rather than in a bowl

Because there were only two of us and we were keeping one serve for lunch tomorrow I reduced the tuna - I used one 85g can and one 185g can. I also didn't measure the lemon juice - just squeezed in a whole nice juicy one I had nearby.

Dill and parsley from the garden - put them on the plate after the beans - the flavour spreads through so much better - next time I will chop the dill even though this recipe said tear it.

Only 6 Weight Watchers Pro Points in less than 10 minutes - how good is that?

Pretty isn't it?

PS Weight Watchers says it is in one of their books - can anyone tell me which one? I can link to the book then too. I have not managed to locate it in any of the seven Pro Points books I have here.

Lemon tuna salad

This is a variation on a salade nicoise I have made a few times. That recipe has a LOT of oil in it. And is for four people. So I mixed it up a bit and reduced the quantities - 3 serves for us.
Start with lovely fresh greens - tonight I used ready washed spinach and rocket, cherry tomatoes and red onion sliced real thin

Add some zing - 60 g pitted kalamata olives

Add some stuff to fill you up - a can of white beans and two eggs I hardboiled earlier in the Thermomix

Now to make the dressing - I put some thyme from the garden in the TM with a clove of garlic

Whizz 2 seconds at speed 7

Scrape down and add the following: 

Juice of one lemon

1/4 teaspoon raw sugar

2 teaspoons dijon mustard

ground salt and pepper

And the secret ingredient this amazing lemon infused olive oil

whizz 5 seconds at speed 6

Arrange drained tuna steaks (springwater) on the top of the salad and give the tin to the ninja cat to enjoy. Then pour over the dressing and serve! This is so filling neither of us had bread with it tonight. It will stretch to 4 or 5 serves just add more eggs and tuna or have crusty bread with it
