A WORD FROM THE CHEF
Chunks of tuna, boiled egg and vibrant salad, all drenched in a delicious home-made dressing – this will bring the taste of summer to your home-office lunch! And the best part? It only takes 15 minutes to prepare and is healthy too at only a half a syn per serving on the Extra Easy Slimming World plan.

Two little gem lettuces, leaves separated
100g each of red and yellow cherry tomatoes, halved

Four eggs, boiled and halved
For the dressing:
4tbsp fat-free vinaigrette
One level tsp honey
Juice of one lemon
One level tbsp wholegrain mustard

Blanch the green beans in a saucepan of lightly salted boiling water for two to three minutes, then drain and refresh under cold running water. Drain and transfer to a large bowl with the lettuce, cherry tomatoes and red onion.
Break the tuna into bite-size pieces and add to the salad ingredients along with the boiled egg halves.
Whisk all the dressing ingredients together and season lightly. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to mix.
