Big thank you to Chin Mien for the fantastic and super nice salad! I'm sure all of us who had some will agree with me. =)
Here's the simple recipe:
MH Workout Meal: Tuna Salad
Fuel up and activate your recovery systems with this speedy salad.
(For 1 serving)
BABY POTATOES
How much? 80g
Why? Unlike large potatoes, which have a higher glycaemic index, baby or new potatoes are considered lower GI food. This means it causes gradual and smaller rise in blood sugar, which helps minimise hunger.
CUCUMBERS
How much? 60g
Why? Fresh cucumber is a very good source of vitamin C, which supports recovery and enhances the immune system. It is also useful as a digestive aid and has a cleansing effect on the bowels.
CANNED TUNA
How much? 80g, mashed
Why? Tuna supplies lean muscle-building protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which protect the heart and improve brain functions. Omega-3s also reduce muscular inflammation.
PARSLEY (didn't put cos didn't manage to find it in NTUC)
How much? 15g
Why? Potassium, which is found in parsley, is also known as the “muscle” mineral because it plays an important role in muscle contraction and nerve transmission. It also maintains the electrolyte and acid-base balance in your body.
PINE NUTS (replaced with almonds because NTUC don't have pine nuts)
How much? 30g
Why? Technically, they’re not nuts – they’re seeds. Pine nuts contain iron, a component of haemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying and energy-shuttling red pigment of blood.
CHIVES
How much? 15g
Why? Chives contain sulphur, which aids the circulatory and respiratory systems, and can help to overcome fatigue.
THE DRESSING
1 tsp extra-virgin oil
1 tsp mayonaise
1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp honey
Salt and pepper
THE METHOD
Mix ingredients well and drizzle over the salad when you’re ready to eat.
