Tuna-Salad-Salad

Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe.

Tuna salad on top of a salad? Let’s do it! This recipe was inspired by dieter Sarah who suggested eating tuna salad on top of salad greens to increase the size of her meal. Great idea, Sarah!

Servings: Serves 2

Ingredients:

• 1 large can (9 oz) of drained Albacore tuna or Sarah’s tuna salad
• salad greens (the more the merrier)
• 1 tomato, sliced
• sliced cucumber
• thinly sliced red onion
• 1 boiled egg (optional)
• sea salt & pepper
• 2-4 Tbl of your favorite vinaigrette (less is more)

Instructions:

Wash your salad greens and chop them up into salad-size pieces. Toss the greens in a large bowl and lightly drizzle your vinaigrette on the greens and toss with a fork so that the salad greens are covered in dressing, but not soggy. Divide the salad greens into 2 bowls. Add 1 scoop of tuna into each bowl, then add the tomato, cucumber, red onion, and egg. Sprinkle with salt & pepper.

If you are in ZReduction, make sure to keep your veggie portion within the 1-cup allotment, and watch your protein portion. If you like lots of tuna and egg in your salad, just make sure your individual portion does not exceed 8 oz (1 egg counts as 4 oz of protein btw). Your leafy greens are unlimited, huzzah!

Enjoy!

Cheers,
