Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ (5 ounce) can tuna in water
  • ¼ cup diced avocado
  • ¼ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 ½ tablespoons poppy seed dressing
  • 1 tablespoon diced red onion
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 1 tablespoon sunflower seeds

Instructions

Step1: Prepare the Ingredients

  • Drain the tuna and flake it into small pieces using a fork.
  • Dice the avocado into small cubes.
  • Halve the cherry tomatoes.
  • Dice the red onion finely.

Step2: Prepare the Dressing

  • In a small bowl, combine the 1 ½ tablespoons of poppy seed dressing and 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil. Mix well until fully combined.

Step3: Assemble the Salad

  • Place the 2 cups of baby spinach in a large salad bowl.
  • Add the flaked tuna, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and diced red onion to the spinach.

Step4: Dress the Salad

  • Drizzle the dressing mixture over the salad ingredients.
  • Gently toss the salad to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.

Step5: Add Final Touches

  • Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sunflower seeds over the top of the salad for added crunch and texture.

Step6: Serve

  • Transfer the salad to individual serving plates or bowls.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors and textures.

Notes

  • To prevent the avocado from browning, you can toss it with a little lemon juice before adding it to the salad.
  • Adjust the amount of dressing to your preference. If you like a more heavily dressed salad, you can add a bit more poppy seed dressing.
  • For added flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to the salad before tossing.
