I am always starving on a Saturday afternoon. But I don’t have the desire to take on cooking a meal. And I don’t want bread and jam. And I don’t want MacDonald’s or the likes. And I don’t want loads of dishes and cleaning up to do. I want no-fuss. I want something that is quick and easy and light, because we play tennis afterwards, but it still needs to be filling.

A protein salad like this one works for me. With a banana in the tennis bag.

Make a salad from the following ingredients:

• Mixed salad leaves, a huge bowl.
• mixed herbs of your choice
• Bocconcini cheese
• a can of “Catalan tuna” (tuna in a tomato sauce)
• a small can of sweetcorn(or frozen)
• sun dried tomatoes
• cucumber sticks
• dry roasted almonds
• dried cranberries
• A vinaigrette made of: sun dried tomato paste, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sherry vinegar, lemon juice, salt and pepper, small finely chopped shallot.
