I have always liked Red Salmon and king prawns but they are quite expensive.
Today was supposed to be a prawn salad for lunch.
I discovered that my prawns had gone off. Never happened before. No salmon in the cupboard too. Sigh.
But there was a tin of Tuna steaks in water in the cupboard.
I have never liked tuna but with no other choice I decided to give it another try. I ate it with a dash of salad cream and tomato ketchup and it was really really good. Way better than the salmon. On a par with prawns. I guess I may switch over to it rather than the salmon or prawns.
And its cheaper too.
It's only taken me 68 years to discover that I can enjoy tuna. Doh!
This Mackerel salad is one of my favourite meals at the moment. I might even keep doing it over winter. It's lovely and colourful, very filling and really tasty.
Per portion:
1/3rd bag baby leaf salad
1 tin mackerel in sunflower oil (lightly drain the majority of the oil, I like to keep a tiny bit of oil for the salad)
1 hard boiled egg, chopped
1/2 sweet pepper
30g grated cheese
1 salad tomato diced
3 silverskin pickled onions
Mix well, serve and enjoy.
If I've worked it out correctly I think it's about 444 Cal's (most of that is from the fish) and about 11g carbs.

A very odd cat, lived until nearly 20 years old.

2 of our cats made it to around 20 while one passed at only 4 (cancer) and the other was 16, Bubbles is scared of sprouts, should have seen the hissy fit he threw last year when one rolled across the kitchen floor towards him haha, one of our ex male cats loved sweet potato for some reason xx
