👨‍🍳Method

1

Build the Massive Base

1 min

Spread your two large handfuls of lettuce and arugula across a wide serving plate to create a lush green bed.

💡Use the widest plate you have — the visual volume makes this salad feel enormous before you even add the toppings.
2

Segment the Rainbow

3 min

Arrange your toppings in neat, distinct sections across the greens. Spoon your drained tuna into one quadrant. Place your rinsed black beans next to it. Add the bright yellow sweet corn, and then pile your freshly grated beetroot in the final section.

💡Keeping each ingredient in its own section creates the beautiful, Instagrammable rainbow effect.
3

Crown with Avocado

1 min

Carefully fan your 30g of sliced avocado directly in the center of the salad, resting it slightly over the tuna and beans.

4

The Controlled Crunch

1 min

Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the entire plate and season with salt and pepper. Finally, take your 1/2 teaspoon of mixed seeds and sprinkle them only over the avocado slices.
