1230 - looking at the same old boring sandwich wrapped in tin-foil sitting on the desk infront of you. Depressed because when you take it out of the foil you know its not going to excite you, its not going to fill that cavernous hole that's in your tummy... Its depressing, has those sad little finger dents where you pushed down to halve it - diagonally, to try and make it fancy... well this is where your lunch time changes... keep reading for more!

Lunch Day 1...



Cajun Salmon Salad with Asian Dressing

Ingredients
1 Salmon fillet (110g) (5pp)
1 tsp rapeseed oil (1pp)
1 tbsp soy sauce 
1/2tsp sesame seed oil (1pp)
1 tsp peanut butter (2pp)
1.5 tomatoes in wedges
handful of spinach
spring onions chopped
Half a lime

  1. Fry off salmon, and let cool. When cold remove skin and flake into bowl
  2. Mix all dressing ingredients (sesame seed oil, peanut butter, soy sauce) together in small jug or jar (jar is good - add lid and you can vigorously shake to mix well)
  3. Cover fish flakes in dressing 
  4. Add spinach, tomatoes, spring onions to lunch box 
  5. Add fish on top
  6. Add 1/2 a lime (for squeezing over at lunch)


Hey presto - pop in fridge, and don't forget to take to work! 

Propoints: 9 in total 

NB: I realise that some people consider that 9 for lunch is a little high, and you may be right. However, I feel it depends on what those 9 points are spent on - lots of sugar or sleep inducing pasta, or energy from high protein and good fats. My daily allowance is 26, and every day I earn between 5 and 15 extra in activity points, so for me, i feel this is ok. I normally have 4 for breakfast and the rest for dinner.
