A fishy lunchtime

After my adventures in rebounding, I worked up quite an appetite. I was really craving some protein and a tuna salad sounded like it would hit the spot. Here's what I threw together from the ingredients that I had on-hand.

Ingredients:

Spinach (about two big fistfuls, torn)
1/2 can of Kidney Beans
Grape tomatoes (handful, sliced into halves)
1 mushroom, sliced
Onion (just a bit, diced)
1/2 clove garlic, sliced thin
1/2 tin solid white tuna, separated with a fork
1 stalk celery, diced
1 tsp balsamic vinegar (I love Newman's Own Organic Balsamic Vinegar)
1 tsp olive oil
A big dollop of avocado mayo (recipe can be found in yesterday's post)
A squeeze of lemon juice

Pile all the ingredients into a big bowl. Appreciate how pretty it looks, then mix it into a big ugly mess and enjoy :)

I make several versions of this salad, and I find that I feel great after I eat it. It seems to give me a nice dose of mental energy and clarity. It made for a great post-workout meal.
