Thousand Island Salad


The thousand Island dip is absolutely one of our favorite dips. But this time, we're not going to use it as a dip but as a salad dressing. My mom always makes this salad for us because she wants us to enjoy the vegetables in a delectable way. This is a lot healthier salad since we're not using bacon bits but we mix tuna instead. It's a perfect meal for those who are on a diet. I matched it with some whole wheat breads. A perfect healthy combination.

Ingredients: 

2 medium potatoes, boiled, peeled cut into large cubes,
1 pc carrot, blanched and diced
1 romain lettuce, sliced into serving size
2 pcs. red bell pepper
2 tbps lemon juice
1 tsp sugar
1 tbsp pickles
1/2 cup cheese, cut into cubes
1 can tuna flakes in brine, drained 180g
5 tbsp thousand island dip
1/2 tsp pepper

Procedure:

1. Bring to a boil 2 cups of water in a casserole.
2. Blanch carrots that has been diced. Drain carrots and set aside.
3. In the same casserole, boil potatoes until slightly soft. Drain water and let it cool.
4. Peel potatoes and dice into large cubes.
5. In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix thoroughly until well blended.
6. Serve!
