If you are taking part in Live Below the Line you should really consider making this salad. I organised a Live Below the Line lunch for Christian Aid and it went down a treat, people were amazed how little it cost and how yummy it was.

The costing is for 10 people as this could feed a family over 2 days who are living below the Line.

What you need:

500g green lentils: 95p
1 can of tuna: 49p
3 tomatoes: 42p
4 eggs:  40p
½ red onion: 9p
Salt & pepper: 5p
Olive oil and Vinegar: 15p

Cook the lentils for about 30 minutes or as directed on the packet. Once they are cooked wait for them to cool. Boil your eggs, cut the tomatoes into small pieces and the red onion into small slices.

In a bowl put the lentils and add to them the tuna, chopped tomatoes and sliced red onion and cut eggs. Add 1 tbsp of vinegar and 2 tbsp of olive oil and add salt and pepper (add more depending on taste). Mix everything together.

Enjoy!

Spicy Lentil and Tuna Salad

 I love this salad, it has become one of those easy quick fix meals when there’s not much in the fridge. It’s super healthy, full of protein and tastes great. Don’t hesitate to add left-overs.

What you need:

1 can of tuna
1 can lentils
2 tomatoes
1/2 shallot or 3 spring onions
2 hard boiled eggs
Chilli flakes
1 -2 tbsp vinegar
2-3 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper

Cut the tomatoes into small pieces and the shallots or spring onions into small slices. Rinse the lentils and put them in a bowl along with the tuna, chopped tomatoes and sliced shallots/ spring onions and cut eggs. Add some chilli flakes, as much or as little depending on taste. Add 1 tbsp of vinegar and 2 tbsp of olive oil and add salt and pepper. Mix everything together and add some vinegar and olive oil depending on taste.

There you have it, nice and easy!Enjoy
Mel
