Tuna salad


There are hundreds of Tuna Salad recipes out there. This is just one of them, but I found it has the best balance between taste and nutrition. And besides, it's so easy to make!


Ingredients for 1 serving:
canned tuna in water - 1 can (115 grams / 4 oz drained solid)
onion, chopped - 1/2 medium onion
garlic cloves, minced - 1-2
dill, fresh, chopped - 1 tbsp
parsley, fresh, chopped - 2 tbsp (you can also use dry dill and parsley, but put half of the quantity)
celeriac, grated - 3-4 tbsl
lettuce of your choice (I prefer Boston lettuce) - 1/2 head
black olives, sliced, seeded - 2 tbsp
olive oil - 1 tbsp
lemon juice - 1/2 lemon yield
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:
1. Drain the tuna well, wash the vegetables and pat them dry. Then cut the lettuce in thin stripes.
2. Put the tuna, onion, dill, parsley, celeriac and olives in a large bowl and mix.
3. In a cup, put the minced garlic, salt, pepper, lemon juice and olive oil and blend well using a spoon. When everything is well blended, pour over the rest of the salad and mix well.
4. Leave in the fridge for about 15 minutes for all the ingredients to catch flavor, and enjoy cold.
