This salad makes it easy to eat whatâs good for you. Itâs versatile, so you can use asparagus in place of green beans and salmon instead of tuna, or add garden tomatoes.Nick Monfre, Oak Ridge, New Jersey Ingredients:
1 cup cut fresh green beans |
2 cups torn mixed salad greens |
1 can (5 ounces) light tuna in water, drained and flaked |
2 tablespoons sliced ripe olives, drained |

1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced |
1 medium sweet red pepper, julienned |
1 package (6 ounces) ready-to-use southwest-style grilled chicken breast strips |
2 hard-cooked eggs, sliced |
dressing: |
1/4 cup olive oil |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 teaspoon dijon mustard |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
dash pepper |
