Mediterranean Power Salad
(serves 1)
- 2 tbsp dressing (see recipe below)
- 3 cups baby spinach or other dark-green leafy vegetable, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2.5-ounce pouch water-packed tuna
- ½ cup rinsed cannellini (white) beans
- 1 carrot, peeled and shredded
- 1 celery stalk, chopped fine
- 3-4 grape tomatoes, cut in half
- 2 tbsp dressing (see recipe below)
For the dressing:
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (from ½ medium lemon)
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard, (coarse or smooth)
- ½ tsp maple syrup
- Pink Himalayan salt, to taste
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
Make the dressing: Mix all the ingredients well in a small bowl, using a fork or whisk.
Assemble the salad: Toss the greens with the dressing in a bowl, then top with the tuna, beans, and other veggies. Toss lightly and enjoy!
This is also super delicious with salmon instead of tuna.
TIP: Try using the leftover dressing as a dipping sauce.
