-
2 (5oz) cans Wild Planet Albacore Wild Tuna

Cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
Crispy chickpeas (see below - but optional)
Arugula or other lettuce of choice
Balsamic vinaigrette (see below)

1 Zucchini, cubed
1 yellow Squash, cubed
1 graffiti Eggplant, cubed

1/3 cup Balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup Olive oil
2 tsp Honey
2 tsp Dijon mustard

Directions
Add all the balsamic vinaigrette ingredients to a small bowl, or an air tight container with a lid (such as a small deli container). Whisk, or shake vigorously until the dressing is emulsified. Taste and adjust salt as needed, then set aside in the fridge.
If you’re making crispy chickpeas - add the chickpeas to your air fryer, drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Air fry at 390º for 12-15 minutes. Then set aside
Add all the summer veggies to a sheet tray. Liberally drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Roast at 425º for 20-30 minutes, or until the veggies are tender and cooked through.
Drain your tuna, and add it to a small bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and EVOO to taste. Then set aside.
Build your salad by adding a base of arugula (or other lettuce), followed by as much roasted veggies, tomatoes, and crispy chickpeas as your heart desires. Then add the seasoned tuna and a generous drizzle of balsamic vinaigrette. Taste, and adjust seasoning and vinaigrette as needed.
