This recipe highlights how to add volume to meals and nutrient density without adding unnecessary calories. 

INGREDIENTS

1 can flaked light tuna (I love the taste of RioMare brand, and usually just drain off the olive oil)
3 stalks celery, finely diced
1 stalk green onion, finely diced
3-4 gherkins, finely diced
2 tsp mayo (can be substituted for 1/2 mashed avocado + 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar or fresh lemon juice)
1 tbsp honey dijon mustard
to taste freshly cracked black pepper
3-4 cups handfuls of baby greens

Extra nutrient boosters
1/2 cup cooked chickpeas, slightly mashed (if using canned, drain and rinse)
2 tbsp crumbled walnuts or chopped almonds 
2 tbsp roughly chopped cilantro/parsley/scallions/dill


PROCEDURE

  1. Place the baby greens in a bowl. Meanwhile, mix together all the ingredients in a separate bowl and serve over the bed of baby greens!
