Around 15 to 16 years old, right before the start of prom season and the beginning of my year long health-kick, I became completely, head over heels obsessed with the Kardashians, or more specifically, their TV show - Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Excited watching them live their glamourous, drama filled lifestyle and finding it cool being the same age as Kendall (the thought of my 16 year-old, clueless self is making me gag), I tried to adjust my lifestyle in anyway I could to mirror theirs - looking back in retrospect, how ironic were the 'role models' I subconciously chose? Oh, little Christina, bless you.

In most of their episodes around that time, they were always eating these amazingggg looking salads. Which I of course envied. I was never really one for salads before this, they used to be the thing I scoffed down first on my plate, so I could actually enjoy everything else. Now I'm completely different. I love salads - the freedom you have with what goes on to your plate, all the accompaniments you could add and knowing that salads don't always start with lettuce leaves.

Now that I've started to adjust my diet, I've incorporated more and more salads into my week. I have one as a meal almost every day (if I can help it) and the above is usually what I end up making. As I usually have all the ingredients on hand.

INGREDIENTS (Serves 1)

Half a Tin of Tuna, Drained
Four Cherry Tomatoes, Halved
Half a Ripe Avacado, Sliced
One Egg, Boiled and Peeled
A Thumbs Length of Cucumber, Sliced
One Quarter of a Red Onion, Sliced Thinly
A Portion Of Cous Cous
A Handful (or Two) of Lettuce or Mixed Salad Leaves

Honey and Olive Oil as a Dressing

METHOD

Slice all the vegetables to your liking and arrange them in a bowl. Scoop some cous cous on to the plate, and add the halved boiled egg. Top the vegetables by flaking the tuna over it, then lastly dress the salad with your choice of dressing. Bam! - It's that easy.

 I hope you all end up making it, the salad is sooo filling and will definitely make you feel famous. ...Okay not really, but the salad's good, I swear.

Thank you so much for reading & Happy Fathers Day,
