Ingredients
  

1 can of tuna in water, thoroughly drained

1 cup fresh blueberries, rinsed and dried

2 cups mixed greens (a blend of spinach, arugula, and kale works beautifully)

1/2 cup cucumber, thinly sliced

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1 ripe avocado, diced

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

Optional: Toasted walnuts or almonds for a crunchy topping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a large salad bowl, begin by adding the mixed greens. Choose a combination of greens like spinach, arugula, and kale to provide a variety of flavors and textures that will make your salad more interesting.

    Add Fresh Ingredients: Carefully fold in the drained tuna, fresh blueberries, cucumber slices, finely chopped red onion, and diced avocado. Take care to keep the avocado pieces intact for an attractive presentation in the bowl.

      Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, along with salt and pepper to taste. Add the dried oregano and mix until all ingredients are well combined and emulsified.

        Dress the Salad: Drizzle the freshly made dressing over the salad mixture. Using a pair of tongs, gently toss the salad to ensure that all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing, enhancing the overall flavor.

          Finish with Feta and Nuts: To add an extra layer of flavor and crunch, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and any toasted walnuts or almonds on top of the salad.

            Serve: Divide the salad into individual serving bowls. Enjoy immediately to savor the freshness and vibrant flavors of the ingredients.
