Ingredients
-
Tuna, Canned in Water, 5 oz, drained
Avocados, California (Haas), .5 fruit without skin and seeds, diced
*Cracker, Nabisco Oyster (22 pcs)
*French's Hearty Deli Brown Mustard, 1 tsp, (optional)
*Balsamic Vinegar, 1 tbsp
Romaine Lettuce 2 cup, torn
Directions
It's simple: add all ingredients in a bowl, toss and eat! With the fat from the avocado I don't miss olive oil. You can add another 1/2 serving of crackers or double the balsamic vinegar for taste without substantially increasing the calories.
**one trick to the diced avocado is to do it in it's skin. Avocado's can be intimidating but easy once you know the best way. Cut the avocado in half, length wise, around the seed. Twist to separate the 2 halves. To remove the seed, use the sharp end of a good knife and smack it firmly into the seed as you hold the avocado half. BE CAREFUL. Then twist the seed using the knife and it should slide right out.
To dice the avocado, make cuts about 1/2 inch apart both length-wise then width-wise. Use a spoon to scoop out pieces of the avocado. If you make shallow scoops, you'll get nice small dices pieces.
