Ingredients
- 1 can (5 oz) tuna in water, drained (dolphin-safe, because we're not monsters)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (the good stuff, not the sketchy bottle you've had since college)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for that zing that wakes up your taste buds)
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced (tears are part of the process)
- 1/4 cup celery, finely diced (for that essential crunch factor)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (green confetti that makes everything fancy)
- Salt and pepper to taste (be generous, we're fighting sugar here, not flavor)
- 2 cups mixed greens (not just iceberg lettuce β we're not savages)
- 1/2 bell pepper, sliced (the more colorful, the better for your Instagram)
- 1/2 cucumber, sliced (basically crunchy water)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine tuna, olive oil, lemon juice, red onion, celery, parsley, salt, and pepper (get in there with a fork and show it who's boss).
- Mix well to combine (no tuna lumps, please).
- Arrange mixed greens on a plate (the bigger the plate, the more impressive your salad looks).
- Top with tuna salad (center it like you're on a cooking show).
- Serve with sliced bell pepper and cucumber on the side (because your body deserves all the vegetables).
