Fresh Tuna Coleslaw Protein Salad (paleo, GF)
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 handfuls of mixed salad
- 1 cup Fresh Paleo Coleslaw
- 1 cup canned tuna (this was two cans for me, about 130 grams or 8-10 ounces) (wild planet is my favorite)
- 4 small beets , cooked and then sliced (.5 pounds or 250 grams worth) (you can buy these already cooked/boiled in a store or you can do it yourself, for help look at this recipe)
- 12 cherry tomatoes , halved
- 1 english cucumber , sliced
- 1 large bell pepper or 2 small , sliced ( I used one small red pepper and one small yellow)
- 4 hard boiled eggs
- 1 avocado , sliced
- salt and pepper to taste
- a sprinkle of extra apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Take out 4 plates or containers and put one handful of mixed salad on each plate.
- Put a heaping 1/4 cup of coleslaw in the middle of each plate. Then, top the coleslaw in each plate with 1/4 cup of canned tuna fish.
- Surround the coleslaw and tuna with the remaining salad ingredients on each plate (1 beet per plate, 4 cherry tomatoes per plate, ¼ of the sliced cucumber per plate, 1/4 of the bell pepper slices per plate, 1 hard boiled egg per plate, and 1/4 of the sliced avocado per plate).
- Sprinkle some apple cider vinegar on top of the salad. You could also make a quick vinaigrette to top it with, but I find that the dressing in the coleslaw is enough for the salad itself.
