Hooray for sunny days! Dare I say it, summer is really here I think.
We’ve been heading to the park most days after school and coming home just in time for dinner. Them with grubby knees and me wondering what to feed these hungry children, that will be ready in a flash.
This week I’m making a final recipe from the Waitrose #BeautifullySimple range of recipe suggestions and it’s perfect for a super quick midweek supper.
The #BeautifullySimple meals are delicious recipes, made in just 3 steps and with only a handful of ingredients. With clever, foodie touches that you’d expect from Waitrose, these seemed like a perfect chance to try something new.
A couple of weeks ago we tried the Spiced Aubergine with Cous Cous recipe, now for an easy peasy Tuna Salad recipe. It’s made with the delicious Waitrose Albacore Tuna in Olive Oil, only available from Waitrose and it really does make this salad something special.
Two things that my children will always eat without fail are broccoli and tuna, but honestly, there’s only so many tuna and broccoli pasta bakes you can eat aren’t there?!
I wasn’t sure how the lentils would go down with my pair of miniature critics, but the addition of a runny egg made this dish a win.
This simple Tuna Salad would also make a super tasty lunch dish.
I’ve loved the idea behind these recipe cards, that #BeautifullySimple food is easy to make when you start with great food.
Plus, just 3 steps and 7 ingredients? What can possibly go wrong?! Perfect for changing it up a little for midweek family meals.
You can pick up the ingredients and the recipe card together in Waitrose now.
