Tuna Salad with Mixed Greens and Whole Grain Bread

Ingredients

• Canned tuna in water 6 oz
• Mixed greens 2 cups
• Cherry tomatoes 1/2 cup
• Olive oil 1 tbsp
• Whole grain bread 2 slices

Method

1. Prepare the tuna. Open the can of tuna and drain the water completely using a strainer or by pressing the lid on the tuna. Transfer the drained tuna into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
   Tip: Press the tuna gently with a fork to break it up into flakes for easier mixing.
2. Wash and prepare the vegetables. Rinse the mixed greens thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt. Use a salad spinner or pat dry with paper towels to remove excess water. Rinse the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half using a sharp knife.
   Tip: Drying the greens well helps prevent the salad from becoming soggy.
3. Combine salad ingredients. Add the mixed greens and halved cherry tomatoes to the bowl with the tuna. Drizzle the olive oil over the salad ingredients.
   Tip: Use a gentle tossing motion with salad tongs or two large spoons to mix without bruising the greens.
4. Toast the bread. Place the two slices of whole grain bread in a toaster and toast to your preferred level of crispiness. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
   Tip: Toasting enhances the flavor and texture of the bread, making it a perfect accompaniment.
5. Serve the salad and bread. Transfer the tuna salad onto a serving plate or bowl. Serve immediately with the toasted whole grain bread on the side.
   Tip: You can add a squeeze of lemon or a pinch of salt and pepper to the salad for extra flavor if desired.

Pro tips
