    I always make sure I have tins of tuna and mixed pulses in the cupboard now so that I can make this when I need a quick, healthy dinner or lunch. I use a teaspoon of pesto instead of french dressing which is really tasty.

    Is the nutritional imformation on this correct? Seems extraordinarily high and I can't see what makes it so!
