This is a true salad and meant to be eaten out of a bowl with a fork. Would be lovely served with some pita chips. I made a version of the Garlic Lemon Pita Chips Recipe from this site. Read more . Makes a good quick healthy and lo-cal lunch.
Ingredients:
1 can italian tuna in olive oil
1tbsp finely chopped carrot
1 tbsp finely chopped celery heart w/leaves
2 tbsp chopped red sweet pepper
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
juice of 1/2 small lime
salt and pepper
dash of hot sauce
1 cup iceberg lettuce torn from the center of the head
Directions:
1. Drain tuna leaving about 1 Tbsp extra oil.
2. Combine tuna with carrot, celery, red pepper and parsley.
3. Stir to combine ingredients.
4. Add vinegar, lime juice, a liberal amount of salt, a bit of pepper and a dash of hot sauce.
5. Stir until everything is evenly mixed.
6. Add pieces of iceberg lettuce.
7. Toss gently and serve.
8. *the lettuce give the salad some moisture and some crunch without interfering with the flavours, so it is important to use iceberg.
