Delicious Protein-Packed Salads: Quick, Easy & Perfect for Meal Prep!

In this video, I'll show you how to make two delicious, protein-packed salads inspired by traditional Portuguese recipes.

Recipe 1: Tuna and Black-Eyed Pea Salad
• 2 cans of black-eyed peas
• 2 cans of tuna
• 1 small red onion, diced
• 1/2 a bunch of parsley, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Vinegar
• Olive oil
• 2 hard-boiled eggs for garnish
Instructions:
1. Mix all the ingredients together.
2. Decorate with two hard-boiled eggs on top.
3. For a vegan option, simply leave out the eggs and tuna.
Recipe 2: Chickpea Salad
• 2 cans of chickpeas
• 2 cans of tuna
• 1 small red onion, diced
• 4 celery stalks, diced
• 1/2 a bunch of parsley, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Vinegar (I used a mix of apple cider vinegar and red wine vinegar)
• Olive oil
• 1 garlic clove, minced
Instructions:
1. Mix all the ingredients together.
Tips:
• For a lectin-light option, use pressure-cooked or canned chickpeas or black-eyed peas.
• If you prefer not to use canned beans, soak dried beans for at least 24 hours, changing the water regularly. Then cook them in a pressure cooker according to the instructions.
