Hey, Everyone,
Don’t let the title fool you on this one….this isn’t a traditional tuna salad whipped with tons of mayonaise and slapped between two slices of bread (not to say that’s a bad thing, mind you!). This is a fresh salad that I like to throw together for lunch when the day is busy and I’m looking for a quick food fix that’s light, healthy (in my eyes) and tastes great. You’ll notice in the recipe that I list olive oil as optional. I think the salad tastes great with it or without; it all depends on how I’m feeling about an extra 120 calories on the day I’m making it. :-). So I hope you enjoy and as always, please adjust the spices to meet your particular tastes. Enjoy!
