This is mediocre. There I said it. In an attempt to be healthy, I attempted this salad and I think I've had my quota of tuna and leaves. Let me point out the flaws in this salad:
1) Drain the bloody tuna well! This was canned tuna in brine and it should be drained VERY WELL. The result of simple draining would mean the tuna would get soggy.
2) Lamb lettuce leaves are nice but make sure you dry the leaves well. This leaves have the tendency to hold in water and release it halfway through eating the salad. I would ahve preferred spinach leaves, kale or some other type of leave. Even the simple lettuce leaves would have been nicer.
3) Should have gone easy on the black pepper. I went on a spree with the pepper. Bad mistake!
Anyway, instead of using mayo for the tuna, I used Greek yoghurt instead and it was quite nice. Sourish and milky! A dash of lemon juice reduces the strong tuna smell and a sprinkle of salt and pepper gives it enough taste. I also liked the boiled egg addition to the salad. Tuna and egg goes very well together and I think that probably raised the dish from a 4 to a 6 on a scale from 1 to 10.
Well, let's get real. All healthy food don't taste brilliant. So I will cut the tuna and egg salad some slack. It was okay:)
