Adapted from Everyday Paleo, this recipe is great for a wholesome lunch or to take along to a picnic. Easy and quick too so of course it’s a hit in my books.. specially on weekends when the last thing I want to do is cook!!!
Tuna has its own health benefits – it aids in weight loss and is good for the heart (www.livestrong.com). But as is with everything else, too much of anything is not good for you. I absolutely love this salad!!
- 3-6oz cans of tuna, crumbled and drained
- 2 large avocados, cut into cubes
- 3 big handfuls of spinach, washed
- 5 celery stalks, diced
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves minced (or 1tsp garlic powder)
- 3 tbsp capers
- Himalayan salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
- 2 cups red grapes, washed and halved
- Cayenne pepper (to taste, optional)
- Butterleaf lettuce leaves (to make wraps, optional)
- In a large salad bowl add the spinach and celery.
- Next add the crumbled tuna and cubed avocado.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the the olive oil, vinegar, sea salt, pepper, and minced garlic.
- Add in the grapes.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad.
- Add the capers, toss together and serve.
