Tuna Lemon Couscous Salad
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup couscous
- 1 tsp granulated onion
- 1 tsp dried mint flakes
- ¼ tsp True lemon powder
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- 1-ounce packet shelf stable balsamic vinaigrette
- 3-ounce pouch or 5-ounce can of tuna, oil-packed
Instructions:
At home, pack the couscous, mint, onion, True Lemon, and pepper in a pint freezer bag or a sandwich bag. Tuck in the tuna and dressing packets with it.
Add 1/3 cup cool water and dressing to the bag. Stir well, seal tightly, and let sit for 10 minutes. Fluff up and stir in the tuna. If you like it, dust it with some Parmesan cheese.
Serves 1.
Notes:
True Lemon powder can be found in most grocery stores, often in the sugar aisle. You can also pack a lemon juice packet instead.
Find shelf-stable dressing packets on Amazon or in grocery store delis.
The tuna packs range in size from 2 to 3 ounces, depending on the brand. Pick the one you like!
The dry weight of a packed meal is 7 ounces.
