Both lentils and tuna are very high in protein and when combined with the brightness of bruschetta this becomes the perfect summer salad!
Ingredients:
- 1 can Oregon’s Choice Gourmet Albacore 7.5 oz (lightly salted or no salt)
- 3 cups prepared lentils (available at Trader Joe’s, or make your own ahead of time)
- 1 jar bruschetta (also from Trader Joe’s)
- Feta cheese
- Cherry tomatoes
- Fresh basil leaves
- Fresh black pepper
- Combine the prepared lentils and the bruschetta together in a medium sized mixing bowl and mix until well combined.
- Open a can of Oregon’s Choice Gourmet Albacore and gently flake using a fork. Add the Albacore into the lentils & bruschetta mixture and gently stir to combine, then add the feta cheese on top.
- In a large bowl add the tuna-lentil mixture and then add the cherry tomatoes and basil leaves around the rim.
- Top with fresh cracked black pepper.
- Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for an hour before serving.
