Nothing in the kitchen

I visited my friend's condo which she moved in just a day ago. It was a lazy Sunday afternoon so we decided to make dinner at home and off to the grocery store we went.

But there was one challenge.

Everything - literally everything - was packaged away in boxes and bags. We did not have plates, frying pan, pot, cutting board, knife or scissors. We were able to scavenge a few butter knives, forks and lunchboxes here and there. Surprisingly we had a can opener too. So our grocery list really evolved around the kitchen wares we had.

Fortunately for us, this was our dinner  =]

20-mins tuna salad
Here is a list of ingredients (serves one person):

  • Leafy green salad mix - half a package
  • Tomato - half
  • Tuna (canned in water) - half can
  • Avocado - quarter fruit
  • Chickpeas (canned) - approx. half cup (125ml)
  • Dried cranberry and nut mix - sprinkle
  • Olives - 6
  • Balsamic vinegar - 1-2 tbsp
  • Olive oil - 1 tbsp 




To make this salad more filling, try adding a whole grain item such as quinoa, lentils or brown rice. 
We thought of adding a bit of cheese but we didn't have scissors to open the package =P 

Let me know your quick salad dinner ideas!
