After all the Thanksgiving feasting on Thursday and the leftover meals I had, I was craving something simple and light on Sunday for lunch. I hadn't gone grocery shopping yet and I did not want to eat out! Luckily I always have some canned tuna for emergency healthy meals when I run out of groceries!
I quickly made this little salad and it was SO DELICIOUS!
INGREDIENTS: (for 2 people)
Tuna
2 canned albacore tuna in water
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/2 fresh lemon juice squeezed
1/3 cup diced red onions
3-4 diced pickles
1 tsp Pink Himalayan salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
2 tbsp mustard
Salad
1 bag mixed greens
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/2 fresh lemon juice squeezed
1 tsp Pink Himalayan salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
pinch of paprika
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
Directions:
Tuna:
- Drain water from the canned tuna and place in bowl
- Add onions, pickles, carrots and mix
- Add salt, pepper, lemon juice, mustard and mix
- Taste and see if it's to your liking. If you need you can always add more mustard and lemon juice since they are considered to be free items on the 21 Day Fix meal plan.
Salad:
- Empty mixed greens into a large bowl
- Add carrots and mix
- Add all the seasonings and mix
- Taste and see if it's to your liking. If you need add more lemon juice.
