Recipe Substitutes:


This recipe creates a beautiful fl avoursome bowl, but the ingredients can be easily adapted to your taste and dietary requirements…


❤ Carnivore: substitute tuna for a portion of chicken or beef.


❤ Pescatarian: Tuna may be cooked if preferred, or can be substituted for a salmon fi llet.


❤ Vegetarian: add two hard-boiled eggs to your bowl for your protein source.


❤ Vegan: replace the tuna with a palm-sized portion of edamame beans for your protein source. Alternatively, a piece of pan-fried tofu or tempeh would also work well to soak up the fl avours of the dressing.


❤ Nut free: omit the macadamia nuts, and use pumpkin seeds or tahini instead.


❤ Potato lover: change new potatoes to roasted sweet potatoes.


❤ More/diff erent veg: add any raw or cooked chopped veg, such as pak choi, peppers, carrots.
