New potato and tuna salad
For most, the potato is the first carbohydrate to be scrapped off the menu as it is considered an assault on the glycemic index. Not all potatoes are created equally though, and there are plenty of varieties that have a much lower impact on blood sugar levels. New potatoes, especially when eaten with the skin on, not only have a lower estimated glycemic load, but are also a good source of fibre and vitamin C.
Ingredients
- 175 gr. new potatoes
- 1 small spring onion
- 10 sprigs coriander
- 10 sprigs parsley
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- A little lemon juice
- 1 can natural tuna
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Wash the new potatoes and cook them in the microwave for 7-8 minutes or until done.
- Meanwhile thinly slice the spring onion and pick the leaves off the coriander and parsley.
- When the potatoes are cooked through, cut them in half and – while they are still warm – drizzle the potatoes with the olive oil and lemon juice.
- Add the tuna and freshly ground pepper to taste.
- Mix well and serve.
Notes
Cooking the new potatoes in the microwave speeds up the preparation of this dish. If you are boiling the potatoes, add another 10 minutes to the prep-time.
