I love salads that are hearty enough to be a meal.  You feel good after eating them and aren't hungry half an hour later.  This is the salad I make when I'm in a pinch for time and want something quick and nutritious.  Even if you aren't a huge tuna fan, you might still love this salad. With everything mixed together, it's not fishy at all.

Here's what you will need:

1 Can Flaked White Tuna
1/2 Red, Orange or Yellow Pepper, chopped
1 Bunch Romaine or Field Greens
Feta, to taste
1 Avocado, sliced
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Tbsp Dijon Mustard
2 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
4 Fresh Basil leaves, torn
Sea Salt, to taste
Freshly Ground Black Pepper, to taste


Toss all ingredients together and enjoy.

Another take on this salad is with roast or bbq'd chicken.  I love this version when I have day old left overs.  Swap the tuna for the chicken and the balsamic vinegar and dijon for fresh squeezed lemon juice.  It's absolutely divine.


Which version do you think you'd like better?
