BEST Tuna Salad - Super Healthy

 

So the other day at work, Ms KB brought this amazing tuna dip to our Cheese Day Extravaganza and I loooved her dip, if you left me with it I would have polished it off and maybe even ignored the cheese (!). It was that good. She told me it was super easy to make, just 1 tub of Philly cream cheese and tuna with some lemon juice, S & P. Seriously it was good and simple.

I've made it and loved it. But the whole experience was shadowed by a twinge of guilt with the philly cream cheese. When I reported back to Ms KB about how much I loved the dip, she told me the alternative healthy version was to use cottage cheese. Well I know how much my friend ItsyBitsy's partner Hulk30 was loving cottage cheese during his bulking up stage, so I know it's super healthy.

Here's the tried and tested BEST Tuna Salad Recipe

Mix it all up and eaaaaat it now!

Accidental Cooking

The other night I was too tired after work to go grocery shopping and knowing how well stocked my fridge was, never fret.

Found this gorgeous red steak in the freezer and considered making vietnamese beef noodle soup. I had the noodles and soup base all ready, just need to defrost the meat.

As I was slicing the still slightly frozen meat (so it's easier to slice than completely defrosted). I noticed a somewhat fishy smell...the steak can't be off right? Eeeks! But then on a closer inspection there was a bit of "skin" on it... interesting.....then *BING* I remembered I had previously froze a piece of Tuna steak in the freezer. Ooooh but now i've already thinly sliced it. Wat to do wat to do?!?

After putting away the noodles and soup base, coz they surely don't work with thin tuna slices. I checked the fridge to see what else was there on offer. Found me some Bocconcini cheese, salad leaves and spring onion. Well an asian fused salad it is. I made dressing with some fish sauce, sesame oil, toasted sesame seeds and soya sauce. The salad was yum - fresh and the right balance of flavours.
