Mixed Plate With Pasta, Vegetables, Tuna, And Green Soup Recipe

Pasta and Tuna Salad

1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Rinse under cold water and set aside to cool. 2. While the pasta is cooking, lightly steam the Brussels sprouts and carrots until tender-crisp. Rinse under cold water to cool. 3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, steamed vegetables, sliced radishes, and lettuce. 4. Drain the tuna and add it to the salad. Gently mix to combine. 5. For the dressing, whisk together mayonnaise and ketchup (or a healthier alternative such as olive oil and lemon juice) in a small bowl. Add the dressing to the salad and toss to coat evenly.

Green Soup

1. In a large pot, bring vegetable stock to a light simmer. 2. Add your choice of green vegetables (spinach, broccoli) to the pot and cook until soft. 3. Once the vegetables are cooked, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 4. Optional: For a creamier texture, add a dollop of cream or a plant-based alternative before blending.
