Equipment
- Chopper
Ingredients
- 10 cherry tomatoes
- 1 carrot peeled
- 1 green bell pepper medium
- ½ zucchini
- ½ cucumber peeled
- ⅓ cup Italian dressing fat free
- 1 can(15 ounces) chick peas drained
- 1 can(4 ounces) tuna drained
Instructions
- Chop all the vegetables in the chopper to be little diced, one-quarter inch cubes. You may have to chop some veggies twice to get the little cubes. The goal is all the veggies are cut to be about the same size.
- Put the vegetables in a bowl. Add the chick peas and tuna, if you choose to use them. This all adds up to about 4 cups. You choose whatever vegetables or add-ins you want!
- Squeeze the lemon juice over everything and then mix in the Italian dressing. Use your favorite oil/vinegar based dressing. I use Fat Free Italian.
- Store the salad covered in the refrigerator.
