Tuna Tuesday

Serves two

Oven Roasted Asparagus
1 bundle of asparagus, trimmed and rinsed
Olive oil
Salt/pepper
Parmesan
Lemon

Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees
Toss the asparagus in a little bit olive oil. Add a little sprinkle of salt and some fresh fresh ground pepper. Lay asparagus on a baking sheet and cook for about 10-12 minute.
Plate and serve with some fresh slices of Parmesan cheese and a lemon wedge.

Tuna Salad

Romaine lettuce
Ortiz tuna in olive oil
Garbanzo beans
Corn kernels
Grape tomatoes
Cucumber
Avocado
Balsamic vinegar
Dijon mustard
Lemon juice, fresh
Salt/pepper

Slice tomatoes in half and place in bowl. Sprinkle a generous amount of salt over the tomatoes and a couple grinds of fresh pepper. Add the juice of half a lemon followed by 2 teaspoons of mustard and 1-2 teaspoons of balsamic vinegar. Stir to combine and taste the dressing. Add more of anything you like until your happy with it. Then add about 2/3 of the jar of tuna to the bowl, this is just about 4 oz. Since the tuna comes packed in olive oil there is really any need to add extra olive oil. If you want to add more oil you can pour a little more in from the jar of tuna. Stir together or mix with your hands so the tuna breaks up into smaller pieces.

In a separate bowl combine lettuce and all other salad toppings add in tuna and tomato mixture, toss and serve.
