Description
Low Fat Salad Nicoise is a wonderful way to pack a lot of vitamins into healthy diet and the canned tuna offers enough lean protein to make this a meal.Ingredients

Makes
8 Starter Salads or 4 Meal Size Salads
12 oz. of salad greens (romaine or spinach work well)
2 cans water packed tuna (I prefer the "Solid" over the "Chunk")
8 - 10 oz. of fresh or frozen green beans
2 hard boiled eggs quartered
8 small potatoes
1/2 small red onion thinly sliced
1 tomato sliced in 8ths or some cherry tomatoes
1 T capers rinsed
Balsamic glaze, sherry vinegar dressing or apple cider dressing
Optional
8 anchovy fillets
1/2 cup salty black olives
lemon wedges
Methods/steps
- Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil, add a little salt and par boil the green beans for 2 minutes. Remove them and place them in a bowl with cold water until they're no longer hot. Rinse, dry and set aside. Then add halved potatoes to the boil water and cook 10-12 minutes until you can insert a knife easily and cool them off and dry them the same way as you did with the beans.
- Build a salad by adding greens to a bowl, then all other ingredients leaving the tuna and the egg for last. Drizzle with dressing of choice and serve.

Low fat breakfast burritos are fast, easy to make and will make you forget you're eating like a fat guy on a diet. The truth is that I'll put just about any leftovers in my breakfast burritos such as any greens, beans, meat, seafood, vegetables and even a little pasta. Try this one and experiment later.
