Nutrition & Movement

Servings: 1-2

Use fresh tuna to dress up this salad or canned tuna when you're in a hurry. Either way, it packs plenty of healthy omega-3 fatty acids, along with lots of other healthy nutrients—and delicious flavors!

Ingredients:
Main:

  • 1 small cucumber
  • 4 romaine lettuce leaves, washed and torn in bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 tomato, cut in wedges
  • 10-12 olives, cut into rings
  • 3-4 ounces canned tuna (or fresh tuna, seared and chilled)
  • 1-2 ounces feta, crumbled
  • Onion, thinly sliced in rings
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Oregano Vinaigrette:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (or 1/2 tablespoon fresh oregano)

Directions:

  1. Peel and seed the cucumber and cut into 1-inch chunks. Place the cucumber and lettuce in a salad bowl.
  2. Arrange the tomato wedges around the dish. Top with the olive rings, tuna, feta and onion rings. Refrigerate until chilled.
  3. For the vinaigrette: Mix all the vinaigrette ingredients thoroughly.
  4. To serve, top the salad with the vinaigrette and season with salt and pepper.
