Green Tuna Salad

This good, nutritious and light salad with tuna and lettuce is an easy way to watch your weight without feeling hungry all the time.

Tuna is great source of protein and can also provide with omega-3 fatty acids if canned properly, so check the label on the can before choosing it for the salad.

Green tuna salad is pretty easy and fast to do, great choice for lunch or light dinner.

Ingredients:

  • 1 can (6 oz) tuna chunk in water or oil (whatever you prefer more)
  • 3-4 big leaves of lettuce
  • 7-9 cherry tomatoes or 2 roma tomatoes
  • 1 can (8 oz) fresh cut kernel corn
  • 1 can (6 oz) of black pitted olives, can be sliced if you are lazy 🙂
  • Olive oil by taste
  • Salt

Tips & Advises

  • Green Tuna Salad, like all green salads with olive oil, is better to be served fresh, it will loose taste and pretty look if you put it to the fridge
