Mediterranean Chicken Salad, by Diane

I decided to make these salads for dinners this week using the recipe for the Mediterranean Chicken Skewers. You can throw whatever you want in, but this is what I decided for this round. It was really good and a great summer evening meal that came together quickly!

Ingredients:

2 cups greens (I used baby kale and arugula)

1 chicken skewer

1/4 cup baby heirloom tomatoes, cut in half

1/4 roasted red pepper, cut into cubes

3 tbsp pickled red onions (I used my recipe here)

1/2 cup hummus (I used my recipe here)

1/4 cup feta crumbles

Directions: Toss all ingredients together and enjoy!

The Best Tuna Salad Bites, by Diane

 

I saw these on instagram from @goodeatsbyrose and despite me not liking quite a few of these ingredients I was for whatever reason inspired to try it. I'm so glad I did- these were amazing (she just called these Tuna Salad but honestly they are the BEST!). So quick and easy, I can't wait for lunch tomorrow! I think these are perfect because they are a mix of acid, salt, fat, sweet, spice, crunch and soft. I slightly adjusted some quantities based on what I had on hand. Yum!!

Ingredients:

1 large can tuna, drained

6 sweet gerkin pickles, diced

1/2 small red onion, diced

10-15 small sweet cherry tomatoes, quartered or halved

3 tbsp capers

1 tbsp mayo

Juice of 1/4 lemon

1/4 cup feta crumbles

Sprinkle red chili flakes

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tsp garlic powder

Romaine leaves

Directions:

Mix all ingredients except lettuce to combine and adjust seasonings. Put into crunchy romaine leaves and devour!
