Mediterranean Tuna Salad

MAKES 1 SERVING

Mediterranean cuisine places a lot of emphasis on seafood for protein, rather than red meat. Not only is there more variety when it comes to seafood, there are also more health benefits! Tuna is packed with vitamin D, which may fight disease, regulate mood, and support weight loss. Pair it with savory olives and tangy red wine vinegar, and this recipe will renew your faith in salads.

INGREDIENTS

1 (5-ounce) can tuna in water, drained
6 lettuce leaves, chopped
½ cup whole cherry tomatoes
¼ cup sliced kalamata olives
¼ cup cilantro
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Combine all the Ingredients in a serving bowl, tossing to combine.
2. Serve with toast or pita bread, if desired.
