Carrot Tuna Avocado and Pear Salad

My morning was one of those mornings you might be able to relate to.  It was one of those mornings where I was just so busy that I kind of forgot to prioritize feeding myself.  So by the time I got around to food, glorious food, it was already lunch time.

I came up with this improvised salad using the minimal ingredients I had in my fridge and cupboards. 

I'm not exactly what you would call a seafood fan.  I don't like fancy fish, crab, lobster, oysters or octopus (gross).  However, I do like sushi and I really like salmon and tuna.  I usually refrain from eating things out of a can because of all the excess sodium, but there is this one brand of tuna soaked in olive oil that is probably one of my favourite foods.  I'm not a crazy carnivorous eater, but this stuff I could eat like chocolate.  

I started with the tuna (looks appetizing...), then I found a potato peeler and used it on a carrot to get these long and thin ribbons.  Then I cut half an avocado, mango-style, and sliced up some pear.  I then added aged cheddar because I'm of the belief that cheese makes the world go round.  (Another reason why I couldn't be vegan)


Ingredients: 

  • 1 can Rio Mare Tuna in Olive Oil
  • 1/2 to 1 carrot (I found that only a few shavings of the carrot was enough)
  • 1/2 an avocado
  • 1/2 a pear 
  • 1 tbsn of shredded aged cheddar
Quick and easy - my kind of meal



Colourful too!

Pleasantly yours,
Bart
