Canned Tuna in Water and Celery Sticks

Ingredients

• Canned tuna in water 75 g
• Celery sticks 100 g
• Olive oil 1 teaspoon
• Lemon juice 1 teaspoon
• Salt to taste
• Black pepper to taste

Method

1. Prepare the Tuna. Open the canned tuna and drain the water completely using a fine sieve or by pressing gently with a spoon. Place the drained tuna in a small bowl.
   Tip: Draining well prevents the dish from becoming watery.
2. Add Olive Oil and Seasoning. Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil to the tuna to increase healthy fats and meet the target macros. Squeeze 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice over the tuna for brightness. Season lightly with salt and black pepper if desired. Mix gently to combine.
   Tip: Olive oil adds flavor and healthy fats without overpowering the tuna.
3. Prepare Celery Sticks. Wash the celery sticks thoroughly under running water. Trim off the ends and cut into sticks about 3-4 inches long for easy eating.
   Tip: Celery sticks can be kept in water in the fridge beforehand to maintain crispness.
4. Serve. Arrange the celery sticks on a plate alongside the seasoned tuna. Use the celery sticks to scoop or dip into the tuna for a crunchy, protein-rich snack.
   Tip: Enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Pro tips

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of dried herbs like dill or parsley to the tuna.
• Keep celery sticks in cold water in the fridge to maintain crispness for longer.
