Introduction

In the picture, I also added another 1/4 of the avocado, chopped, into the salad. I had just finished a hard workout and the extra good fat was welcome! (The extra avocado would add about 7 grams of fat, mostly monounsaturated, and about 73 more calories.) In the picture, I also added another 1/4 of the avocado, chopped, into the salad.

Ingredients

    1/2 C. cooked brown rice
    1 green onion, chopped
    1/4 tsp. curry powder, divided
    4 leaves red leaf lettuce
    9 slices English cucumber, peel on
    1/4 small Haas (California) avocado
    1/4 C. nonfat yogurt
    1 clove garlic, minced and crushed with a pinch of kosher salt
    2 Tbsp chopped cilantro
    dash ground ginger
    1 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
    2 Tbsp chopped sun-dried tomatoes
    pinch kosher salt
    2.8 oz. white albacore tuna (I use ready-to-eat cups that require no draining)

Directions

Place the rice in a bowl and, if cold, heat in the microwave. Stir in the chopped green onion and half (1/8 tsp) of the curry powder. Toss with the cucumber, green pepper, and lettuce.

To make the dressing, puree the avocado with the yogurt, garlic, remaining 1/8 tsp. curry powder, cilantro, ginger, and olive oil. Toss with the salad. Top the salad with the tomatoes and the tuna.

Serves 1 as a large lunch, or 2 as a side salad.
