Corn, tomato and tuna salad, with thousand isles dressing

Long time ago, when I still was in the university, we went to lunch at the Arthouse cafe sometimes, because they had a wide choice of interesting and tasty salads. I did not think about noting down the ingredients at the time, then they closed it suddenly and I had to think hard what was in some of my favorites. This one was one of those, I remembered it had corn, tomato and thousand isle dressing, but I had no idea anymore what else was in it. I added tuna, liked how it tasted, so it turned into 1000 isle tuna from then on.

Need:
100g of canned corn
2 average size tomatoes
100 g of canned tuna (in oil or water)
2 spoons of thousand isles dressing

Dry the corn and tuna from the water it was swimming in. Cut tomato into bite size pieces, mix with corn, tuna and dressing. Simple and tasty.

Egg and Cheese Salad

This surfaced up today in my memory as a solution to the frequent question what to eat for lunch. I like a yellow cheese with a bit more sharp flavor for this, though usually what ends up in it is that forgotten leftover piece you found at the back of the fridge shelf, deemed still edible after a careful inspection for the suspicious life forms.

I usually do not serve it in any special way, just eat it from a bowl (the amount bellow is for 2-3 people), but it has a potential to end up on a guest table, as a small bite something, on a toast, in the mini cups, etc.

Need:
100 g block of yellow cheese
3 hard boiled eggs
3 spoons of mayonnaise

The rest is simple, roughly grate the cheese on a vegetable grater, cut the eggs into small pieces. Mix, add mayonnaise, eat.
