Recipe: Tuna salad with a kick

So part of the challenge in this first week has been to find recipes that appeal to me and can be made in batches for future meals. The Candida Diet website has a decent number of recipes on hand, so I figured I would start there. Tonight, I experimented a little bit with a fresh salsa recipe. The results were delicious.

Tuna salad with a kick

You will need:

• 3 medium, vine-ripened tomatoes (fresh from your garden is even better)
• 1 small, red onion
• 1/2 cucumber
• 1 can flaked, light tuna (drained)
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup of cilantro, chopped
• 1/2 lime, squeezed
• sea salt to taste

The instructions are really simple. Chop the tomatoes and veggies to your liking, add the lime juice and cilantro. Sprinkle with sea salt and mix well. It should now look something like this:

Now, for any vegetarians reading this. You can stop here. You'll notice the salad (which is sort of like fresh salsa) tastes amazing already. However, I need the protein, so I added the tuna and then used the salad to make wraps. I bought the gluten-free brown rice wraps at Hartman's. They come frozen so you can pull them out individually and de-frost them. This was the final result:

This recipe is certain to become a staple for me. Enjoy!
