Back with another high-fiber, high-protein simple dish idea. Recently, I got a request for recipe ideas that take 20 minutes of less. This is where (pre)pared proteins can be a real game changer. I often recommend Kevin's Natural Foods as quick entrees, but tinned fish can be another great option. This recipe can be made with simple canned tuna in water, which is both cost-effective & readily available. For those of you who are fans of tinned fish, I also recommend checking out Fishwife for some super yummy & more exotic options.
Here is a quick and easy tuna & quinoa recipe that takes nearly no time to meal prep.
Ingredients
6.5 oz. (185g) cooked quinoa
4 tbsp. (50g) chickpeas, rinsed & drained
½ cucumber, chopped 1
tbsp. crumbled feta cheese
10 cherry tomatoes, halved
2 cans tuna (7 oz/200g each, drained)
Dressing:
1 tbsp. olive oil
2 tsp. red wine vinegar
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
Cook the quinoa according to the package instructions. Mix all the dressing ingredients together in a bowl. In a separate bowl, combine all salad ingredients. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat.
note, this is a pretty small serving, I recommend increasing the serving size of chickpeas and quinoa to make it a bit more satiating
