Tuna & Salad

It's tuna again. How can I make a tuna salad without mayo? This was the question that tortured me today. And than.... I came up with a great idea: how about tuna with salad? This is it. Straight out the can, just with a little lemon juice and a salad.

Give it a try. I loved it.

Ingredients:

1 large tomato

1/2 english cucumber

1 small onion

oregano

salt

2 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions:

This is a very simple salad; you don’t have to chop everything finely.

Season with some salt, oregano and lemon juice. Set aside.

Drain the tuna and place in a small bowl. Drizzle with lemon juice.
