Tuna, Avocado & Bocconcini Salad

Ingredients

  • 2 generous handfuls Mixed Salad Leaves (Mesclun, Rocket, or Baby Spinach)
  • 1 tin (95g) Tuna in Olive Oil (or Springwater), drained well
  • 1 small Avocado, diced
  • ⅓ cup thawed frozen Corn Kernels (reduce to 1 T for keto friendly option)
  • 4 Cherry or Grape Tomatoes, halved
  • 6 Bocconcini balls (baby mozzarella), halved
  • ¼ small Red Onion, very finely sliced
  • 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (high quality)
  • 2 tsp Balsamic Vinegar

Directions

  • Place the mixed salad leaves in a wide, shallow bowl to create a bed.
  • Scatter the halved tomatoes, diced avocado, corn kernels, and bocconcini evenly over the leaves.
  • Flake the drained tuna over the top.
  • Top with the finely sliced red onion.
  • Drizzle the Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar over the whole dish. Serve immediately.
Variation
  • You can substitute Bocconcini for cubed Vintage Cheddar for a sharper flavor. Ensure you slice it from a block to avoid anti-caking agents found in pre-shredded bags. If watching sodium, stick to the Bocconcini.
  • Optional: season with cracked black pepper – handy for those on low sodium diets. Pepper provides a “heat” and “bite” that tricks the palate into thinking the food is well-seasoned, without adding a single milligram of sodium.
