Ingredients:

1 can of canned tuna in its own juice;

1 can of canned beans;

2 large salted cucumbers;

1 large fresh cucumber;

½ onion;

1 tablespoon vinegar;

2 tablespoons vegetable oil.

Preparing

Start with the onion. Cut it in half rings, scald it with boiling water and pour it with vinegar diluted according to the instructions (usually indicated on the package). Set aside, let it marinate. In the meantime, chop the cucumbers, drain the liquid from the beans, take the tuna out of the can and break it into pieces with a fork.

Mix the ingredients together. Take the onions out of the vinegar and add to the salad. Pour the mixture with oil, generously peppered. Be careful with the salt: the cucumbers and tuna have already done their part.

Ingredients:

1 iceberg lettuce sprout;

2 chicken breast fillets;

3 tablespoons oil;

3 slices of loaf;

1 garlic clove;

50 g cheese;

2 tablespoons mayonnaise.

Preparation

Fry small pieces of fillet in 1.5 tablespoons of oil until tender. Heat oil in a frying pan on a nearby burner, rub garlic into it, brown diced loaf. If you have time, cut the crusts off the bread beforehand.

Peel the iceberg in a bowl with your hands, put the chicken, croutons, grate the cheese, dress with mayonnaise on top. If you don't serve the salad right away, put the mayonnaise between the iceberg and the chicken so it doesn't soak into the breadcrumbs and they stay crispy.

Add a few halved cherry tomatoes for a juicier version of the salad.

½ small bale of cabbage;

2 large tomatoes;

1 can of canned green peas;

4 tablespoons mayonnaise.

Preparation

Cut the sausage and tomatoes into julienne strips, shred the cabbage, add the peas and dress with mayonnaise. Pepper these vegetables and season with salt and pepper.

Soups

Cooking soup is usually delayed by the need to boil the meat and get the broth. But there are options where this problem is solved. If you need to speed up the process, heat water in an electric kettle instead of on the stove and pour it into a pot.

4. Soup with smoked lentils

The important thing here is to choose the right lentils. Look for one that is for soups. The instructions on the packet advise boiling them for about 20 minutes.
