Loading ...Notes:
This salad is ridiculously tasty, surprisingly filling and quite probably foolproof (unless you really do struggle to boil an egg…). Plus, it’s very simple and suits a multitude of additional vegetables, nuts, seeds, etc. I didn’t have any staple salad ingredients at the time, hence the egg, but it was by no means boring! Colourful, nutritious and delicious!
Servings: 1
Ingredients:
Bag of mixed baby salad leaves (I used Asda's own brand, £1)
1 tin of Mackerel in tomato sauce (I used Sainsbury's own, 79p)
2 medium chicken eggs
Directions:
Boil two eggs for about 5 minutes, or longer depending on how hard you like the yolk. Once they're done, drain off the hot water and cover them in cold water. Leave to stand.
Grab a generous handful of salad leaves and arrange on a plate. Open the tin of mackerel and use a spoon to lift the fillets out of the sauce (please don't throw it away!) and add to the leaves.
Peel the eggs, slice them and add to the plate.
Drizzle the reserved tomato sauce from the mackerel tin over the leaves and eggs, and enjoy!
This is an incredibly basic recipe but makes a fantastic lunch if you're short of ingredients, and the sauce tastes amazing with the eggs. For a fishier salad, use two tins of mackerel (but only 1 tin's worth of sauce) and one egg. For a heartier evening meal, add tomato, cucumber, sweetcorn, kidney beans (they taste amazing with the sauce), pinenuts and/or sesame seeds. If you would prefer it without egg, try mixing the reserved sauce with a portion of cooked pasta. Yum!
