Dietitian’s tip

Nearly carb-free and protein-rich, this is one of the steadiest lunches in the bag for blood sugar.

Ingredients

  • 2 large handfuls kale, stemmed and chopped
  • 1 pouch tuna (about 3 oz), drained
  • juice of 1/2 lemon
  • drizzle of olive oil

From your pantry: olive-oil.

Method

  1. 01

    Massage the chopped kale with the lemon juice and olive oil until soft and glossy.

  2. 02

    Flake the tuna over the top and toss.

Dietitian’s notes

  • Massage the kale with lemon and olive oil for a minute - it softens and loses its bitterness.
  • Flake the tuna right over the top so its juices dress the leaves.
