Cooking Steps
- Preheat the oven to 210°C.
- Wash or peel the sweet potato and then dice it. Prepare a 30cm square of aluminium foil per person.
- Transfer the sweet potato to the foil and drizzle with olive oil, then toss well to coat.
- Fold up the foil so as make parcels, then transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 35 - 40 minutes (see Tip).
Tip: use a fork to check the sweet potatoes after 30 minutes and bake for more or less time as necessary.
- Dice the cucumber and chop the mint leaves.
- In a bowl, combine the white wine vinegar with the extra virgin olive oil.
- Add the cucumber, mint and slaw mix, then toss well to combine.
- Drain the tuna. Finely dice the apple and finely chop the chives. Finely chop the onion.
Did you know... apple contains the fibre pectine, which contributes to gut health. This is good for your cholestrol and your immune system.
- In a bowl, combine the honey with the mustard.
- Add the onion, sour cream, tuna and apple, along with two thirds of the chives.
- Mix well to combine, seasoning to taste with black pepper. Set aside until serving.
Did you know... tuna packed in olive oil is not only delicious, it's also good for your health. Olive oil contains monounsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E, which help lower cholesterol levels and maintain a strong immune system.
- Take the sweet potato parcels out of the oven when they're done (see Tip).
- Serve the sweet potato on plates and top with the tuna salad.
- Scatter the rest of the chives over the tuna salad and sweet potato.
- Serve the cucumber slaw on the side.
Tip: be careful when opening the parcels, as they may release hot steam.
