Ingredients
Salad Ingredients
- 4 cups spring mix lettuce
- 1 (5-ounce) can tuna, drained
- 4 Bocconcini mozzarella balls
- ½ English cucumber, sliced
- 1 small shallot, thinly sliced
- ⅔ cup sweet corn, cooked and chilled
Dressing
- ½ recipe lemon vinaigrette (about 3 tablespoons)
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: Rinse the spring mix lettuce and pat dry. Slice the cucumber and thinly slice the shallot to add fresh crunch and sharpness to the salad.
- Drain Tuna: Open the tuna can and drain all the liquid thoroughly to avoid sogginess in the salad.
- Assemble the Salad: In a large salad bowl, combine the spring mix lettuce, drained tuna, sliced cucumber, thinly sliced shallot, cooked sweet corn, and Bocconcini mozzarella balls.
- Add Dressing: Drizzle the half portion of lemon vinaigrette over the salad evenly. Toss gently to ensure all ingredients are coated with the tangy dressing.
- Serve: Plate the salad immediately to enjoy the crisp textures and fresh flavors at their best.
Notes
- You can substitute Bocconcini mozzarella balls with fresh mozzarella pearls or cubes.
- This salad is best served immediately to maintain the crispness of the lettuce and freshness of the ingredients.
- For added flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of freshly cracked black pepper or chopped fresh herbs like parsley or basil.
- Sweet corn can be canned if fresh is unavailable, just ensure it is well rinsed and chilled.
- If you prefer, use any light lemon vinaigrette recipe or store-bought for convenience.
