TUNA, BLACK BEAN, CORN AND AVACODO SALAD

DINNER AT HOME

I make this salad during my "try to lose weight" weeks and when doing intermittent fasting.  

I won't eat for 24 to 48 hours and then enjoy a bowl of this salad.  Super delicious and filling.  In fact, I am kind of addicted to this salad now and can eat it twice a day and be happy.  

Pretty much use whatever we have in the refrigerator but always with a lot of fresh vegetables.  This batch included Canned Tuna Fish, Carrots, Celery, Onion, Cabbage, Lettuce, Cucumber, Black Beans, Corn and Avocado.  Last week's version included Cannellini Beans in place of the Black Beans.  I also add bit of American Cheese cut in small cubes and always Ken's Zesty Italian Salad Dressing.  The Dressing really brings everything together and kicks the taste way up.  Try this and I guarantee you will love it.  Don't add the dressing until you are ready to eat a portion and leave the rest dry until you eat it.

LUNCH AT HOME

I love a good Tuna Sandwich provided it has more than just a bunch of mayonnaise in it. 

 My recipe has flavor, texture and is perfect on bread or in a tortilla.  I use low carb tortillas 

for these easy Wraps.  Also add Lettuce and American Cheese.  Delicious!

Made this dinner up on the fly using leftovers and things we had in the refrigerator.  For my Tower, I started with Avocado and then added Tuna Salad.  Topped with Tomatoes, Red Onion, Cilantro and Lime.  Served with Romaine Lettuce, Grilled Asparagus, Egg and Papaya.  Pretty darn delicious!

DINNER AT HOME

Fresh fish prices in Hawaii are at an all time low because hotels and restaurants are closed.  I am taking this opportunity to enjoy as much as I can.  Bought this beautiful piece of fresh Ahi Tuna and made a Seared Ahi Salad.  This is so simple.  Coat the Ahi in Cajun Spices and sear for about 20-30 seconds on all sides in heated olive oil.  Thinly slice the Ahi and dip in a mixture of Soy Sauce, Wasabi, Sesame Oil and Honey.  One of my all-time favorite dishes in Hawaii!

I love a good Tuna Salad and have a recipe that is a winner.  I use the same basic ingredients for Tuna, Egg, Crab and Lobster Salads (see link below).  On this night I just used stuff we had in the refrigerator and the result was a delicious salad that the entire family enjoyed.

MORNING STAR CAFE - NEW HOPE SAND ISLAND

NEW HOPE CHURCH ON SAND ISLAND

MORNING STAR CAFE
NEW HOPE 
SAND ISLAND, HAWAII 

Was amazed to learn that the New Hope Chapel on Sand Island has a small cafe that serves lunch.  We ventured in today for a quick an inexpensive meal.  The menu is written on a white board and nothing is over $5.  I tried the Roasted Chicken Sandwich ($4.50).  Nice chunks of chicken with fresh tomato and lettuce.  Pretty good sandwich that filled me up.  The Tuna Salad ($4.50) was large and topped with a scoop of tuna with some sliced carrots.  Served with Ranch Dressing.  My co-workers tried the Taco Salad and seemed to really like it.  Nice to know we can get a healthy and inexpensive lunch served up with some scripture if desired.
