I’m back with another post as part of my healthy meal prep series!!! 🍽️
Enjoyed a lot of good food over the Lunar New Year period but now it’s back to the routinely grind of healthy meals. As much as I love indulging in my favourite foods, I always believe it’s important to have a healthy balance of foods that are nourishing and also foods that you enjoy once in a while!
So I started meal prepping again and the latest one that I’ve really enjoyed is this protein packed Tuna Pasta Salad! 🐟🥗
Protein is really important to me, as it is vital for muscle repair and growth since I exercise alot. I always make it an effort to include more protein sources when I meal prep and in today’s recipe this would be in the form of canned tuna and eggs! 🥚
Both are such a great and affordable source of protein. Canned tuna also has a very long shelf life, so it’s easy to stock them up in your pantry! I usually choose the ones in light olive oil for a healthier option as well. 🐠
🍳 Ingredients:
- Canned tuna in light olive oil (I used one can)
- Romaine lettuce
- Cherry tomatoes
- Veggie fusilli (or any short pasta of choice)
- Eggs
🍳 For the dressing:
- 1/4 cup EVOO
- Juice of half a lemon
- 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 1/2 tsp dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp honey
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
🍳 Steps:
1. Make the pasta - Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package directions.
2. Prep your veggies - Wash the romaine and cherry tomatoes, and cut them accordingly. If you have a salad spinner it would be good to spin dry the romaine so it remains crisp and not turn soggy.
3. Prep your tuna - Open the can and drain the tuna. Add to a bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Make your jammy eggs - Using the same pot that was used for the pasta, top up the water and bring it to a boil, lower your eggs in and leave it for 6.5-7 min.
5. Make the dressing - Add all the ingredients into a bowl and whisk until well combined. Otherwise you can also add them to a jar, seal it tightly and shake till combined!
6. Assembly time - Layer your meal prep box with your veggies and pasta. Add the seasoned tuna and jammy egg on top. Pour the dressing into a separate container and you’re done!!!
This is such an easy recipe to try because there’s no pan-frying involved! A very clean and refreshing protein packed meal which can also be easily modified to your liking - you could add other veggies you desire, or increase your protein intake by including tofu. Hope you enjoy this recipe if you try it! 🤤
