There’s a reason I’ve been making this easy tuna salad for years. It’s healthy and delicious and made with the simplest of salad ingredients that you’ve probably nearly always got in your fridge. Try it – I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!

📝 Ingredients

  • 6 handfuls lettuce (or similar fresh green leaves)
  • 6.5 ounces tuna in water ((canned))
  • 2 tomatoes (chopped)
  • 1/4 cucumber (sliced)
  • 10 slices beetroot ((canned or jarred is fine))
  • 2 handfuls grated cheese (or use another tasty cheese - whatever you have)
  • 1/2 avocado
  • 1/2 carrot (grated or finely sliced (optional))
  • 4 slices onion ((raw) I like red onion.)
  • 2 handfuls walnuts (crushed (or toasted pine nuts, or mixed crushed nuts and seeds))
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
  • toasted bread with olive oil and sea salt
  • mayonnaise ((or Greek yogurt))

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Put salad leaves in bowls.: Start by placing the fresh green leaves in the bottom of 2 big wide bowls.
  2. 2Divide tuna and all other ingredients apart from walnuts and onions) between bowls.: Divide the tuna between the 2 bowls, then add all the other ingredients (apart from the walnuts and onions) next to each other in little piles.

  4. 4Drizzle with dressing.: Drizzle over the olive oil and balsamic glaze.
