Tuna salad with egg and capers
Hearty Phase 1 salad with tuna, egg and piquant capers, virtually carb-free.
This tuna salad with egg and capers is a savoury classic dressed up in a protein-rich jacket. Creamy tuna, hard-boiled egg, piquant capers and fresh red onion sit on a bed of mixed leaves, finished with a splash of lemon juice. Hearty, flavourful and ready in no time.
For Phase 1 of the protein diet, this is an ideal lunch: tuna and egg together form a powerful protein bomb of around 35 grams, whilst the dish remains well within the strict phase limits with just 4 grams of carbohydrates. The eggs and healthy fats provide lasting satiety, so you won't find yourself reaching for a snack mid-afternoon.
Lovely with a few slices of cucumber or a handful of rocket mixed through for extra freshness. A pinch of smoked paprika over the egg brings this protein-rich salad to a slightly peppery level.
