Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 4-oz cans canned tuna (packed in water)
- 6 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium cucumber
- 0.25 medium red onion
- 2 large hard-boiled eggs
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Drain the canned tuna and transfer it into a small bowl. Use a fork to flake the tuna into smaller pieces.
Wash and dry the mixed salad greens, then place them in a large serving bowl.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half. Peel the cucumber, slice it lengthwise to remove the seeds, and chop it into half-moons. Thinly slice the red onion. Add all the prepared vegetables to the salad greens.
Peel the hard-boiled eggs and slice them into quarters. Set aside for topping the salad later.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine and coat evenly.
Top the salad with the flaked tuna and sliced hard-boiled eggs.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
