Eevon made tuna potato salad! :D

I absolutely love raw food. Not only it’s really easy to prepare, raw food does more good than cooked food! So here’s a salad recipe I tried the other day.

For 4 pax:
3 canned tuna
4 eggs
4 russet potatoes
20 cherry tomatoes
1 small lettuce
some coriander leaves

Salad Dressing
3 tablespoon of brown sugar (add more if you have a sweet tooth)
90ml Olive oil (actually it’s up to you how much smooth you want your salad to be)
1 Lemon (to squeeze for lemon juice)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf coriander leaves

How?

  1. Place the eggs in a saucepan of cold water and bring to boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 4 minutes. Cool the eggs under cold running water, shell them and cut them into quarters!
  2. Peel potatoes and cut them into bite size cubes. Boil the potatoes and cook them until they are 70% tender. lol. Not sure what 70% is? When you poke a fork into the potato, it sinks into it smoothly but does not falls apart. If the potatoes falls apart, it is too tender. Once potatoes are ready, drain and refresh them under cold water. Leave aside to cool.

You can try adding onions and olives or substitute lemon juice with vinegar. Also, I realised that I should had sliced the cherry tomatoes into halves! lol. Anyway it tasted pretty fine and hub was happy eating healthy! I shall make him more salad!

BTW tuna aka chicken of the sea is a great source of Omega 3 fatty acids. Eating tuna can raise good cholesterols and lower the baddies (LDL). But do enjoy tuna in moderation (eating it more than 1-2 times per week is considered excessive) because like all fishes, tuna contains mercury.

Also, remember to buy dolphin-safe tunas only!
