Tips

  • Using tuna in springwater and no-added-salt canned corn helps lower your sodium intake.
  • Tuna provides Vitamin D. Vitamin D is needed for healthy bones and teeth.
  • Choose wholemeal rolls for a fibre boost. Fibre helps keep you fuller for longer.

  • You can juice the leftover lemon and freeze for later use.
  • Enjoy the leftover cucumber as a snack.

  • Buying a larger can of corn helps save money. You can use the leftover corn in a rice salad or fried rice.
  • You can save money by using home brand tuna and corn.
  • Compare prices per 100g to get the best value for money. This information is on the supermarket price tag. It can be cheaper to buy a larger can of tuna and use the rest in other recipes.

Method

Step 1
In a bowl, mix the tuna, corn kernels, celery, herbs, mayonnaise and lemon juice.

Step 2
Halve the wholemeal rolls, place a lettuce leaf on each bottom half. Top with the tuna mix, cucumber and roll tops.

Serving suggestion: tuna mix can be used as a cracker, sandwich or wrap spread.

Food safety: if you are taking leftovers for lunch, tuna needs to be kept cold so pack an ice brick.
