A can of tuna, a pile of crisp vegetables and a two-ingredient dressing. This bowl is built for busy weekdays: plenty of protein and omega-3s, almost no carbs, and nothing to cook.

Everything comes together in the serving bowl. Drain the tuna well so the dressing, not the canning water, carries the flavor.

method

Arrange the leafy greens in a bowl as the base.
Add the drained tuna in the center.
Scatter the cherry tomatoes and cucumber around the tuna.
Drizzle with the olive oil and vinegar.
Season with salt and pepper.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over everything and eat.

chef's tips

Press the tuna firmly in a strainer. Watery tuna dilutes the dressing.
Dry the greens well so the oil clings instead of sliding off.
Tuna in olive oil works too. Just use a little less dressing.
