If you like it then you shoulda put a LID on it- Summer Shak 'em Salads (Part One)

Baha. I love this title, sorry but it makes me think of something I reallyreally like!

What is it you may ask ( well more like who is it?)........

BEYONCE- Oh my geez...So fierce! I honestly love the music, the moves, everything! (in a straight girl way)

Hot Mess.

But dear readers, this post is not about Beyonce or her amazing dance moves. No, this post is about easy summa salads that are so darn good, you gotta put a LID on it to stop yourself from eating them. But feel free to keep pickin at them because they are sooo healthy and tasty too :)

There are two recipes for you guys because I am awesome. Your welcome.

NUMBA/PART ONE:

Crunchtastic Tuna Salad- adapted from Every Day Food Magazine

1 Cucumber- Chopped in half (lengthwise) and into 1/2 inch pieces
2 Celery Stalks- Washed, chopped in half (lengthwise and itty bitty pieces)
1/2 Small Sweet Onion ( such as WallaWalla, or Vidalia)- Chopped into small strips
2 Cans Tuna- Drained and flaked.

Mix all these together in a bowl with a fitted lit (Tupperware is best!) THEN get....

1/4 Olive Oil (Extra Virgin Light)

2 Tbsp White Vinegar ( Red would work to)

1 Tbsp Lemon Juice

2 tsp white sugar

Salt and Peppa to taste ( Pepper is REALLY good in it)

* And mix those in a separate (smaller bowl)

THEN- Add liquids to the main dish, put on a lid and SHAKE-SHAKE-SHAKE your...um Tupperware.

*Let sit in the fridge to abit, garnish with fresh parsley if desired



Adding the liquid.


For those reader's who care...yes yes I did shake my money maker with this bootylicious tuna salad in my hands. And no there will be no picture of me doing it!

But! I believe you should try this delish concoction ( it will give you the excuse to

 a) shake something reallyreally hard

 b) dance in the kitchen!

c) BOTH!

So enjoy this one peeps! it really is soooo addictive (especially if you are a tuna fan- YEAH FISH!)
