If you have a problem getting enough vegetables in your meals, here is a salad recipe that makes it easy with family favorites like pasta and crunchy delicious vegetables too.
It's easy to make, delicious, oh, and it's high in protein too because it uses canned tuna which makes it easy on the budget and the waistline.
The only think you need in addition to the ingredients I'll list below, is a bottle of your favorite salad dressing. Vinagrette, Italian, and Honey Dijon go exceptionally well with this hearty salad. All the vegetables will be cut in julienne strips so they're all approximately the same bite-sized pieces.
