Ingredients

  • 1 can tuna (drained)
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp (plus a tiny pinch) garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp Italian dressing (for the greens)
  • 2 cups garden salad greens
  • 2 tbsp shredded cheese
  • 1 tbsp chopped jalapeños or pickles
  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)

Method

  1. 01

    Build the sauce: in a small bowl, vigorously mix the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Cajun seasoning, and garlic powder until completely smooth.

  2. 02

    Prep the tuna: flake the drained tuna directly into the sauce. Toss well until the fish is entirely coated.

  3. 03

    Fold in crunch: stir the chopped jalapeños or diced pickles into the tuna mixture.

  4. 04

    Dress the greens: in a separate large serving bowl, toss the garden salad greens with the Italian dressing so every leaf is thoroughly coated.

  5. 05

    Assemble and garnish: scoop the extra-saucy Cajun tuna mixture on top of the dressed greens. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the bowl.

  6. 06

    Season to taste: finish with a final pinch of salt and cracked black pepper. Toss gently and eat.
