"I just threw this together tonight and was really happy with the outcome! And it's another one of those recipes that you can alter to your likes/dislikes and use what you have on-hand."

 

• Ready In: 10mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Serves: 2

ingredients

• 2 (6 ounce) cans tuna (I love Kimmel's from the PNW, I buy it at Whole Foods)
• 1⁄2 cup mayonnaise (no Miracle Whip for me)
• 1⁄2 cup chopped celery (one to two stalks)
• 3 cups salad greens
• olive oil
• red wine vinegar
• salt
• fresh cracked pepper
• 2 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and quartered
• 2 stalks canned hearts of palm, sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped into twice-as-wide-as matchstick pieces

directions

1. Mix the first three ingredients and set aside OR stop there and eat as is or use for tuna sandwich, tuna melt, etc.
2. Divide the lettuce between two plates; dress with oil and vinegar, salt and pepper.
3. Pack the tuna mixture into a 1-cup measure and turn out onto the middle of one of the plates of lettuce; repeat.
4. Place the egg quarters, hearts of palm slices, and chopped red bell pepper around the tuna; if desired, garnish the top of the tuna with three pieces of red bell pepper.
5. I like to crack fresh ground pepper over all at this point.

A gorgeous, delicious salad. Added minced onion (we love it in tuna salad).
