Healthy Tuna Salad In Turkish Bread Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 small round Turkish breads, split open and toasted
- 2 tbs low-fat cheese (cottage cheese, quark or labneh)
- 1 tbs capers, optional
- 185 g can tuna in spring water, drained
- rocket, baby spinach or lettuce leaves
- 2 tomatoes, sliced
- 1 tbs fresh herbs (parsley, dill and/or mint)
- pepper, to taste
Method
- Spread the warm bread with cheese and sprinkle two halves with capers.
- Spoon the tuna, leaves and tomato on top. Season with herbs and pepper. Cover with remaining bread halves.
- Serve immediately.
Hint
Labneh is a yoghurt cheese. To make your own: Line a colander with several folds of cheesecloth or a kitchen towel. Pour natural yoghurt into the cloth, then put the colander into a larger container and let it drain overnight in the refrigerator until it's reduced to half its volume.
