'Ello,
Method:
The healthy lunch. That elusive but often thought of meal that has been too long cast aside aside for stodgy pasta, cheese filled sandwiches and buttery panninis. I, for one, hate lunch. I don't know how to approach it. I don't know what to eat to fill me up. How do I avoid beingstarving by 6pm and ravaging the fridge before dinnertime? What constitutes as a healthy lunch? How many calories should I be eating? RAH.
To avoid a cognitive breakdown, I try and think of interesting but healthy lunches ahead of time so I have a few recipes to whip out when I want something tasty, healthy AND filling. And because I'm such a great person, I'm sharing one of my favourites with you!
This is a smoked salmon salad with capers, Greek yoghurt, garlic and lemon juice and it is ridiculously easy and massively tasty!
Please note that my measurements aren't really accurate. I cook by guessing/tasting what flavours will work for me so if you prefer more potatoes or more salad leaves etc, go right ahead! This is also helpful for lazy people like me who can't be bother to locate the scales!
Ingredients:
- 150g smoked salmon slices
- 3 tablespoons greek yoghurt.
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic (crushed)
- 5 baby potatoes
- 1 tablespoon greated cheddar cheese
- 1 bell pepper
- Bowl of mixed salad leaves.
Method:
- First, boil the potatoes until cooked
- Then, mix together the yoghurt, garlic, capers and lemon juice together to make the dressing.
- Next, add the smoked salmon.
- Chop up the pepper and add to a bowl of mixed salad leaves.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, add them and the cheese to the dressing.
- Mix with the pepper/salad leaves.
VOILÀ. It takes about 10 minutes to make, tastes amazing and has just over 400 calories!
