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 – 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

  1. 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).
  2. Mix well to combine (no tuna lumps, please).
  3. Arrange mixed greens on a plate (the bigger the plate, the more impressive your salad looks).
  4. Top with tuna salad (center it like you're on a cooking show).
  5. Serve with sliced bell pepper and cucumber on the side (because your body deserves all the vegetables).
