PROTEIN NOODLES:

TUNA SALAD:

  • 2 5oz cans tuna (click HERE to find mercury free)
  • 1/4 cup mayo use my PSMF mayo to lower the fat and make PSMF macros
  • 2 tablespoons diced green onion
  • 1 teaspoon pickle juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Redmond organic Season Salt
  • 4 baby dill pickles diced
  • 1 hard boiled egg chopped

Instructions
 

  • To make the protein sparing noodles, preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Place the egg whites into a blender. Add the Further Food gelatin and salt and blend the mixture well.
  • Spray a silicone baking sheet with edges (like THIS ONE) liberally with avocado oil spray. Pour the mixture into the baking sheet and use a spatula to spread the mixture out to cover the baking sheet completely in a thin layer. Place in the oven to bake for 6-10 minutes or until just cooked through.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool. Place in the freezer for 10-20 minutes to help with easy removal from baking sheet.
  • To make the Tuna Salad, place the tuna into a large bowl. Add the mayo, green onion, pickle juice, Redmond Season Salt, diced pickles and hard boiled egg and stir well to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning to your liking.
  • Once the sheet of protein sparing noodles is cool, remove it from the silicone pan.
  • Place the sheet of noodles onto a cutting board and roll it up in a tight jelly roll. Use a sharp knife to slice into protein noodles, cut into small noodles to resemble macaroni noodle size.
  • Add the noodles to the tuna salad and stir to coat the noodles.
  • Store extras in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Serve chilled.
