Ingredients

• 1 baby cos (Romaine) lettuce, washed and leaves torn
• 100g cherry tomatoes, halved
• ½ red onion, diced
• ½ Lebanese cucumber, cubed
• 1 red pepper (capsicum), cubed
• 60g green olives, pitted
• Sea Salt
• Black pepper
• 190g tinned tuna in olive oil
• 50g feta cheese
• 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
• Fresh oregano, chopped

Method

1. Place the lettuce, cherry tomatoes, onion, cucumber, red pepper (capsicum) and olives in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Divide and refrigerate half the salad in an air-tight container, for left overs.
2. To the remaining salad, add half the tuna and half the feta. Dress with 1 tbsp red wine vinegar and oregano. Serve and enjoy.

Notes:

• If you are unable to find tinned tuna in olive oil, then choose tuna in spring water. When ready to use in the salad, drain the spring water and add a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.
