Ridiculously healthy and delicious recipes don’t have to be complicated or time-consuming to prepare. I whipped up this 5-minute wonder this morning as I was rushing out of the door. I had no idea what it would even taste like, so it was kind of a gamble. Given my track record with original recipes, I wasn’t super optimistic. However, what I discovered was quite surprising. I enjoyed it so much I thought that I’d write it up and share it with y’all.
How healthy is it?
Full nutritional info is below, but just to give you a little taste (see what i did there?) of what’s to come, here’s some of the reasons why this is so good for you:
Less than 210 calories
28 grams of protein
11 grams total carbohydrates
Packed with vitamins A, B, C and Niacin to name a few
Greek Tuna, Cucumber and Tomato Salad Recipe
Note: This is the info with no salt added. Obviously if you add it (which I did), you’ll need to jack up the sodium levels accordingly. Also, percentages are based on that good ol’ 2,000 cal/day FDA business.

Put everything in a Tupperware container

Shake it up

At lunch-time give a little shake to redistribute oil/spices
Pour everything on a plate
