Yesterday was my first day home since traveling to San Diego for the BlogHer conference. My body was craving good healthy food something fierce! So I started my day with a nice omelet and then made this quick tuna salad, partially because a few grape tomatoes and The Laughing Cow Cheese was all I had on hand. Then, once I caught a glimpse of my basil plant on the deck, the idea hit me.
Why not put all the fun flavors of mozzarella caprese in a quick tuna salad?
It was TASTY! Such a fun twist! The husband stuck with plain old tuna mixed with mayo to which I say… "Boooooring!"
Ingredients
- 1 5oz can of light chunk tuna in water, drained
- 1 wedge of The Laughing Cow Light Mozzarella, Sun-Dried Tomato & Basil
- 10 fresh basil leaves chopped
- About 10 grape tomatoes quartered
- ½ teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- pinch of kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper
Instructions
Place all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well!
My favorite type of recipe… one bowl and no mess! 🙂 I put my batch on a sandwich thin and added some carrot sticks on the side. It was a fabulous lunch!
Here's the nutritional information just for the salad.

I happened to have all of these ingredients available one morning before work, so I thought I'd give it a try when packing lunch and it was amazing!! Thank you!!

For mine I mix tuna with: olive oil, lemon juice, heaping spoon of grainy dijon, spoonful of relish, finely diced onion and finely diced celery....so yummy!!

I found a great new idea for Tuna that I have been loving (in fact I just had it for lunch today). Mix one can of tuna with 1/2 cup of salsa. I used to only eat Tuna with Mayo, but with this mix I don't miss it at all!

That is a great idea for jazzing up the tuna sandwich. I just found mini WW sandwich thins, and they were on sale. They will be perfect for school lunches, so I bought two bags and popped them in the freezer.
