Introduction
Loaded with omega-3's from tuna, this recipe happened to me by accident. Salsa with tuna and whole wheat noodles may sound gross, but it is anything but. Loaded with omega-3's from tuna, this recipe happened to me by accident. Salsa with tuna and whole wheat noodles may sound gross, but it is anything but.Number of Servings: 1
Ingredients
-
- 3 oz of canned tuna
- 2 oz of whole wheat pasta (dry)
- 2 tbsp of soynuts
- 4 tbsp or more of garden fresh salsa (the hotness is up to you)
- 3 tsp of yellow mustard (gives it a nice kick)
- 1 tsp of balsamic vinegar
Directions
Heat up your stove and boil a 1/2 cup of water.
Once boiling, add in the whole wheat noodles and let it cook. Meanwhile, drain the tuna from the can and put it in a bowl. Layer with mustard.
After ten minutes pass check on the noodles. If ready, top it on the tuna mustard mix.
Get out your favorite salsa and glob a few tablespoons on there. The balsamic vinegar comes next, soynuts (or whichever nut you chose) are the finishing touch.
The warmth from the noodles makes the tuna have an almost slow-cooked chicken texture and it surprisingly the tastes from the tuna and salsa do not combat each other.
Enjoy!
