Sweet 'n' Spicy Tuna Salad

With Spinach and Kale Salad marinated in Garlic, Lemon Juice, Red Chili Flakes, and Sea Salt

Let's start with the high dosage of antioxidant vitamins A,C, and K. Spinach and Kale is a great combo for both nutritional reasons  as well as being complimentary in texture and flavor. Squeeze a generous portion of lemon juice and garlic powder, then add a few pinches of red chili flakes and sea salt. Feel free to drizzle a little olive oil (I prefer without for a lighter version).

Tuna Salad: It's been done. I know. But it's a great source of lean protein for a satisfying lunch. I love experimenting with different ingredients to jazz up tuna salad. Today I tried a little sweet 'n' spicy combo using:
-A can of drained tuna (in water, not oil)
-About a 1/4 cup of chopped celery
-A few tbsp of dairy free, egg free garlic aioli
-A dash or two of low sodium soy
-Couple dashes of siracha... or whatever you can handle.
-A handful of raisins (about 1/4 cup)

-Black pepper to taste




 And for the final touch, I halved some sweet baby peppers. These sweet, crunchy little peppers were delicious stuffed with some of the tuna salad filling. Try it as a delicious, colorful and healthy appetizer or finger food for your next get together!


Enjoy!
