Mayo-less Tuna Salad

This week recipe is another quick and easy salad. This is my go-to salad for when I come home from work and have to make something quick but healthy before going out somewhere. Tuna is a great source of high quality protein and the pasta makes me feel full enough to stay awake for the night. I took this great low-fat salad recipe from skinnytaste.com but I changed a couple of things. I prefer tri-color pasta from macaroni and instead of only arugula, I chose a mix of baby greens.

Mayo-less Tuna Salad

The ingredients arreeeee:

  • 5 oz canned tuna, drained
  • 1 tbsp capers
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 2 cups mix baby greens
  • 1 cup cooked pasta (from 2 oz dry)
  • Black Pepper
  • Parmesan topping to taste

Mix tuna with capers, oil, vinegar, baby greens, pasta and pepper in large bowl and then toss them together.Divide salad on two plates and top it with Parmesan cheese.

Easy enough!
