Fillers are so versatile. Made up in minutes, they can be kept in the fridge and used to make so many quick and tasty meals. Not just great for sandwiches, wraps and salads try them on top of a hot jacket potato or stirred through some pasta for a speedy pasta salad, perfect for packed lunches.

Top Tip for making Crunchy tuna filler

As it is, this filler is very healthy, but for a little treat, add a dollop of mayonnaise instead of the balsamic vinegar
