Tuna Steak Salad

One of the best ways to get more veggies in your diet is to eat salads. We like to eat salad for lunch and many times we will use leftovers from dinner for our protein. We love red and green leaf lettuce and usually add baby spinach as well. The salad can and should contain as many vegetables as possible. We like red onion, carrots, orange or red bell peppers, grape or vine tomatoes, and cucumbers. Sometimes we add avocado or garbanzo beans for our healthy fat.  We also add at least a teaspoon of ground flaxseed for omega 3’s. Sometimes we will make vegan parmesan cheese to sprinkle on our salads for an extra treat! Once you have your veggies cut up you can add whatever protein and dressing you like.  Be careful with dressing quantity as many dressings contain a high amount of sugar. We use a minimal amount of balsamic vinaigrette for our dressing or sometimes we will search Ecosia make our own. For this meal, we had leftover tuna steak.  Other options would be shrimp, chicken, tuna fish, ground turkey, or tofu. Enjoy!
