This salad is pretty versatile.  Lots of options for substitutions and additions – and amounts are arbitrary.  Use this as a template and make it your own!  Great healthy idea for lunch – or dinner!

SALAD

  • 2 cups packed fresh baby spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 medium red, yellow or orange bell pepper, diced
  • 1 can tuna, drained and flaked
  • 1 can beans or chickpeas  – I find white kidney beans or chickpeas are the best
  • 100 g feta cheese, crumbled

DRESSING

  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp honey
  • salt & pepper to taste

Added at end:  2 cloves crushed garlic (do we have any recipes without garlic??)

Put all salad ingredients into a large bowl.  Whisk dressing ingredients and pour over salad.  Mix.  Add the crushed garlic and mix again.

Here’s some ideas for add ins:  Chopped red onion, chopped green onion, grape or cherry tomatoes.  Instead of spinach, try baby arugula.

Yum!
