Course: Salad
Cuisine: American
Servings: 2 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 medium-size can White Albacore (in water)
  • 4 green onions
  • 1/2 red pepper
  • 1/4 c almonds (sliced)
  • 1/8 c capers (chopped)
  • 1/2 c grape tomatoes (quartered)
  • 1 medium stalk celery
  • 1/2 small fresh jalapeños (minced)
  • 1/2 t dried dill
  • ½ t salt
  • ½ t pepper
  • ¼ c mayonnaise
  • ½ head butter lettuce

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients except lettuce in a bowl and mix together.
  • Use enough mayonnaise to just lightly cover food. Vegetables give so much flavor, so you only need 1/2 as much mayonnaise as traditional recipes. Start with 2T at most and go from there.
  • Shred lettuce and place on 2 plates.
  • Serve salad on lettuce.
  • ENJOY!
