Directions
I have a habit of going out to eat and literally picking apart everything I eat. The most unusual thing on a menu was a Tuna Nicoise Salad. But it was Friday, and we have our meatless meals on Fridays. I thought I could tweak this salad to keep it clean and in my eating plan. Unfortunately the kids wouldn’t touch it. No surprise there! But for the adults… it hit the spot. This “salad” has a fresh lemon zing with some fragrant garlic. The thing I like best is that it has everything in it like veggies, potatoes and lots of protein!
