Post Mixed....

My oh-so-pretty salad became a mess after I mixed and mixed it last night.  I was so bummed that I didn't take a picture BEFORE hand.  (I'm learning a lot of photo lessons this week, huh???)  So despite its mixed appearance, I still wanted to present you with one of my favorite salads that we had last night:  Donna's Tuna/Beets/Blue Cheese/Chickpea salad....

OK, OK...in writing, it doesn't sound good...but it's actually AMAZING:)  Trust me:)  I use:

• 1/2 can albacore tuna (that GOLD can is the best:)
• 1/2 can of sliced beets (those beautiful little jewels in the salad!)
• 1/2 can of chickpeas
• red onions
• shredded carrots
• tortilla strips (for CRUNCH)
• and a little blue cheese...

I think blue cheese is one of the best additions you can add to salad.  Mainly because you only need a little bit of it to pack a major FLAVOR PUNCH!  All of the flavor combinations in this salad makes it easy to not miss any dressing (which I love!).  Not to mention, we bought the lettuce from the farmer's market this weekend and it is just above and beyond better than any bag lettuce;)

OK, truth be told...I was NOT really super excited for salad yesterday.  Mostly because I'm very excited for the meals we're planning on having for the next 2 days....so in case the tuna/beets/chickpea salad wasn't appealing: Hang in there...it's gonna get better;) hahahhahahha...Have a good Tuesday!
