Ingredients
  

1 can (5 oz) tuna in water, drained

1 cup fresh blueberries

2 cups mixed salad greens (spinach, arugula, and lettuce)

½ cucumber, diced

¼ red onion, thinly sliced

¼ cup feta cheese, crumbled

¼ cup walnuts, chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and season with salt and pepper. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and emulsified. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

    Mix the Tuna Salad: In a medium-sized bowl, use a fork to flake the drained tuna into bite-sized pieces. Add the diced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, and half of the fresh blueberries. Gently fold the ingredients together until thoroughly mixed, taking care not to mash the blueberries.

      Assemble the Greens: On a large salad plate or in a wide bowl, neatly arrange the mixed salad greens as the base for your salad, creating an inviting bed for the other ingredients.

        Add the Tuna Mixture: Spoon the prepared tuna mixture over the greens, spreading it out evenly to cover most of the greens for a balanced flavor in every bite.

          Top with Remaining Ingredients: Sprinkle the remaining blueberries over the salad, adding bursts of sweetness. Follow with crumbled feta cheese and chopped walnuts for added texture and flavor.

            Dress the Salad: Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad, ensuring that each component receives a light coating for enhanced flavor without overwhelming the freshness of the ingredients.

              Toss & Serve: For a more integrated salad, gently toss all ingredients together, or serve the salad as it is for a beautiful layered presentation. Enjoy this delicious and nutritious meal!
