Ingredients
1 5-ounce can albacore tuna packed in water, drained
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon seasoned rice wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon whole grain mustard
1-2 tablespoons capers, finely chopped
1 green onion, trimmed and chopped
1/2 teaspoon fresh dill
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon honey, or to taste
2-3 cups fresh green leafy lettuce or spinach
1/2 avocado, peeled and cut into chunks
4-5 fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1-2 tablespoons smoked almonds, coarsely chopped
fresh mint leaves for garnish
Directions
Drain the tuna thoroughly and transfer to a small mixing bowl. Add the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, capers, green onion, and dill. Stir until well combined. Season with garlic salt, kosher salt, and black pepper to taste. Set aside.
In a separate small bowl or jar, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, rice wine vinegar, and honey. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or honey as desired.
Layer the fresh lettuce or spinach in a serving bowl or on a plate as the base of your salad.
Arrange the tuna salad mixture on top of the greens. Add the sliced strawberries and avocado chunks around the tuna.
Drizzle the mustard vinaigrette evenly over the salad. Sprinkle the chopped smoked almonds on top.
Finish with fresh mint leaves and a final seasoning of kosher salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
