Lemon-Herb Tuna and Quinoa Salad
Flaky albacore tuna and fluffy quinoa tossed with crisp cucumbers and tangy feta in a zesty, aromatic lemon vinaigrette.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Canned tuna in water
0.5 cup Cooked quinoa
1.5 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 oz Feta cheese
0.5 cup Cucumber
0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp Red onion
1 tbsp Fresh parsley
1 tbsp Lemon juice
1 clove Garlic
0.5 tsp Dried oregano
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and place it in a small bowl, flaking it gently with a fork.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Add the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and finely diced red onion to the bowl with the vinaigrette.
Fold in the flaked tuna and chopped fresh parsley, being careful not to over-mix so the tuna stays in chunky pieces.
Top the salad with crumbled feta cheese and toss gently one last time to combine all the flavors.
Serve chilled or at room temperature for a refreshing and protein-packed lunch.
