Tuna Salad.....Salad with Fresh Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing

This weekend I wanted something light for lunch and I found a healthy recipe for tuna salad - with barely any mayonnaise! Not only are the dijon mustard and sweet pickle relish an uncanny combination with the tuna, but the fresh vegetables and homemade salad dressing make this a great choice for a low calorie summer lunch.

Add your friends, family, and a bottle of white wine and you cannot go wrong.

Recipe

Tuna Salad Ingredients

2 cans of light tuna (6 oz.)

1/2 cup no-fat probiotic plain yogurt

2.5 tablespoons pickle relish

1/2 tablespoon light mayo

2 tablespoons dijon mustard

Green Salad Ingredients

1 small bunch of arugula

1 tomato, sliced

1 cucumber, sliced

salt to taste

Fresh Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing Ingredients:

1/3 cup balsamic vinegar

3 tablespoons of olive oil

1 clove of garlic, minced

Start with making the tuna salad. Measure out and mix the tuna, yogurt, mayonnaise, dijon mustard, and pickle relish in a bowl.

Second, wash the arugula and place it on your plate. Arrange the sliced tomatoes and cucumbers creatively on top of the arugula, and add a dash of salt to taste. Scoop and place the mixed tuna salad in the center.

Finally, combine the ingredients for the balsamic vinaigrette dressing in a small bowl or glass and drizzle on your finished salad! Serves 2.

a buen tiempo!
