It's no secret that I LOVE food, and I mean LOOOOOOVE food! I love trying different parts of the world, I love to experiment when I cook, I love the smells, I love the way it brings people together, I love the way it warms my home. My favorite is down-home, three sticks of butter, warms the soul, lick the plate, comfort food. Its what I do, and I do it well. My husband frequently teases me about being the 20-something version of Paula Deen. But after two babies, those foods aren't exactly loving me back anymore. I was on a mission to eat better without having to sacrifice flavor or eat like a rabbit. This recipe was the result (one of them anyway) of my frustrations. And it's quickly becoming my go-to lunch. I make up a big bowl and eat it throughout the week.
You will need:
- 1 bag of shredded mixed coleslaw veggies
- the juice from half a lemon (Here's a hint - if you microwave your lemon for 20 seconds you'll get 3 times as much juice out of it!)
- 2 (5 oz) cans of tuna or canned salmon
- 1 medium sized tomato
- salt
- fresh ground pepper
- 1/3 cup of minced Walla Walla sweet onion
- 1 small avocado (optional)
Now here's how simple this is. Ready? Mince your onion and dice your tomato and avocado. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl, making sure your lemon juice covers everything. Add salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving to allow all the flavors to marinate. And enjoy! 100% clean, and 100% healthy!
