    Tuna Salad Caprese Style

    tuna salad caprese style pin

    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 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.
