Summer Salad



This lunch officially gonna be my summer lunch for almost everyday, I loved the idea so much that I am making it everyday since last week with slight changes.

Again I mainly stole the recipe from Kornelia my food buddy, I asked her if I can make changes to it and put it in here and she agreed.

I made few changes to this one to even make it healthier and I think I managed to do that, instead of the wheat she used I used whole buckwheat and added few stuff to add more flavor.


Summer Salad - My little Healthy Twist 
Ingredients:

1 cup Buckwheat
1 Avocado
200g Tuna steak
80g Black Olives
40g Green Olives
50g grape tomato
100g Sun-dried Tomato
50g Basil
1 1/2 teaspoon Olive oil or flavored Omega 3 oil



Directions:

Cook the buckwheat as directed in the box, and grill the tuna as desired, chop the olives, tomato and basil to chunks and leave a side. Let buckwheat and Tuna cool down when they are room temperature cut Tuna to small pieces and mix with buckwheat and other ingredients and oil.

Note: I usually add instead of olive oil here my balance oil in Lemon flavor it goes very well with tuna and add tons of Omega 3 and fatty acids but you can add olive oil instead.
