Tuna Veggy Salad

I really love tuna. Not tuna soaked in mayo though, that takes the fun out of it. I like to chop up fruits and veggies and make a lighter, fresher salad, just like my mom’s. This was another recipe born out of bountiful produce and a mighty appetite.

  • 1 can tuna
  • 2 sticks celery
  • 1/2 large tomato
  • 2 tbsp mustard
  • 1/4 cup slivered almonds
  • 2 handfuls spinach
  • 1 lg carrot
  • 1/2 onion (red or white)
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 10 red grapes
  • healthy dose of capers
  1. drain tuna
  2. chop celery, peel carrot then slice along with the tomato, onion and spinach and halve the grapes
  3. add it all to a bowl and mix
