Makes a nice, easy lunch for 2 people

In a large bowl mix 1.5 tablespoons of mayonnaise with 1 tblsp of cream and curry powder (1/4 tsp or more to taste) to make a sauce.

Add:

1 chopped avocado
1 tin of tuna, drained and flaked (either small or regular)
2 chopped medium tomatoes
100 grams of cooked chickpeas or other beans (optional - leave it out if you eat very low carb)

Season with salt and cayenne pepper (or chili powder) and serve.

Counts for 1/2 recipe with the chick peas:

Counts for 1/2 recipe WITHOUT the chick peas:

Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! Looks fab and is easy enough for the non-cook! (me)

I hope you enjoy it - we thought it was delicious. I don't tend to measure out what I put into things, so just adjust the quantities to your own taste, lol.

I am changing the amount of chick peas I wrote above, as the cup size in My Plan is too large. I only use a small amount for any meal, as they're quite carby. If you are strictly low-carb, you can leave out the chick peas altogether. I have started to add small amounts of pulses to some of my meals, because the ultra low carb wasn't agreeing with me so well.

Kirsteen, looking at your stats it appears whatever plan you follow (pulses, or no - by the way, what is a pulse?) you are doing terrific!
Thanks again. I have copied several of your recipes and desired every one.

Pulses are called legumes in the USA: lentils, butter beans, chick peas, etc..

Thanks for the compliment about my recipes. I do love to be creative. The curry we made last night was totally awesome. I will put it into My Plan recipe, so if you are able to look at my recipes, I recommend it. It was a bit more time-consuming, because we roasted the squash before using it in the curry, but it was so worth it!

Here is the link to the recipe. I added my method of roasting a chicken at the bottom, in case you don't normally roast chickens.

P.S. Just adding a note... I tried this with a different curry powder, and had to add more than a teaspoonful to get a nice curry flavour, so taste the sauce and add more curry if necessary when you're making it.
