I am always making large salads for lunch and this is one of my favorites. There is nothing complicated about this salad. It is equally as simple to make at home as it would be to prepare at home and take to work to eat.
Simple Baby Spinach & Tuna Salad Recipe
- Fresh baby spinach
- 1 package of tuna (2.6 oz or so – I use StarKist or Bumble Bee)
- fresh sliced mushrooms
- grape tomatoes
- French Dressing (I use Kraft* Fat Free French)
***Don’t be afraid to get creative and add your favorites in here. Red onions would be great, as would some black olives or hard boiled eggs.
This salad is the perfect pairing for an Udi’s gluten-free Whole Grain Bagel. See my favorite way to enjoy them here.
This salad is one that I will often make ahead for trips or picnics and bring along with me. I don’t mix the tuna in until I am ready to eat the salad. The rest of the ingredients stay fresh when tossed, so there is no reason to worry about soggy salads. The absolute best thing about this salad is that it is naturally gluten-free. If you wanted to bypass the pre-made dressing, a homemade balsamic vinaigrette or the dressing I made here, which is similar to a sweet & sour, would work just as well.
*Kraft is one of the mainstream companies that will clearly label any gluten in their products. When looking for fast dressings that I don’t have to make from scratch, they are one of my go-to brands.
