Mediterranean Tuna Salad

My food of the moment is FISH. From sushi to grilled to baked to canned, fish is such an amazing food.  Not only is it one of the lowest calorie foods that is packed with protein, but certain fish have been linked to improving mood (salmon and tuna), cardiovascular health (just about all fish, but especially salmon), and even fat burning and weight loss (cod).  After giving up any last traces of chicken or poultry in my diet, I am loving fish as a great source of lean protein, which helps keep your metabolism burning....and I find that my body is thanking me for my renewed love of fish via thicker hair and better appetite control among other health benefits.  Try eating fish 2-3 times/week for 2 months or more for body-changing benefits.  

This is my (small, and not last) homage to FISH!

Mediterranean Tuna Salad

• 1 can tuna (I tend to use alabacore, in water, no sodium from whole foods: www.wholefoodsmarket.com)
• 2T Caesar dressing (I like Ken's Lite Caesar: http://www.kensfoods.com/kf/products/productView.servlet?consumerProductId=8&productCategoryId=&productFlavorId=8)
• 2 sprigs cilantro, chopped
• 1 slice red onion, chopped
• 2T feta cheese
• 4 Kalamata olives, chopped
• garlic powder to taste
• salt to taste

1. Mix tuna with caesar dressing and allow tuna to absorb the flavor of the dressing

2. Mix the rest of ingredients with the tuna and season with salt and garlic powder. Eat and enjoy!
