Tuna Salad
3 cup mixed greens (I used romaine and iceberg lettuce and kale)
1 tomato, chopped
½ celery stalk, chopped
⅓ yellow (or other coloured) pepper
2" (or so) English cucumber, chopped
12 (or so) filberts/hazelnuts
2 Tbsp. dried cranberries*
1 Tbsp. olive oil
2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1 can flaked tuna in water**
The more colour the better for this tasty salad, since different coloured veggies have different nutrients. The cranberries and balsamic vinegar add a nice sweetness, and the filberts gave it some good texture and an extra bit of protein.
* Make sure your dried cranberries are not sweetened with sugar. I found some sweetened with apple juice at a health food store.
**Check out Greenpeace's Canned Tuna Sustainability Chart to make an informed choice about the canned tuna you're buying.
