Oil Packed Tuna Arugula Salad recipe
My love for Italy inspired this filling and healthy Oil Packed Tuna Arugula Salad. It combines simple ingredients but packs in so much flavor. Even though this recipe is not authentic Italian, it fits nicely into the Mediterranean diet thanks to plenty of fresh, fiber-rich arugula, protein-packed white beans and quinoa, and nutrient-dense avocado. Be sure to use high-quality, oil-packed tuna for the best flavor.
Assembling this salad is a breeze. Start by making the balsamic vinaigrette. Just whisk together the lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, Dijon, and extra-virgin olive oil, adding honey, salt, and black pepper to taste. Next, arrange the arugula, cannellini beans, quinoa, tuna, crumbled feta, and sliced avocado on a serving platter. Finally, drizzle half the vinaigrette over the salad and serve, passing the additional dressing at the table. Enjoy!
