Arugula & Tuna Jar Salad

Recipe Description

I love the ingredient combination in this Arugula & Tuna Jar Salad. I often prepare a few jar salads at the weekend if I know I have a busy week ahead. This salad always makes it into my mason jar salad prep because it tastes so good!

When I make this one, I start by making a dressing from oil, lemon, salt and pepper at the bottom of the jar. Next I add my ingredients in a particular order – tuna, followed by cucumber, chickpeas, onion and arugula always goes in last. When lunchtime rolls around, I simply give the jar a good shake and dig right in.

To make my version of Arugula & Tuna Jar Salad, you will need the following ingredients:

Superb! I prepped this salad for my busy week and was so happy I did. The tunas mix so well with arugula. I remember enjoying it right after work on a warm evening, feeling refreshed and satisfied. Perfect meal!

I really enjoy this Arugula & Tuna Jar Salad. It's a great option for busy weeks. I prepare several jars on Sundays using fresh ingredients, and they always taste great. The dressing adds a nice zesty flavor that keeps me coming back for more. Highly recommend it.
