How to make Healthy Walnut Tuna Lettuce Salad:
We split the nuts to remove the fruit and reserve. This is if we use seasonal walnuts, if we use already peeled walnuts we skip this step.
We cut the lettuce; wash it well under the kitchen tap, centrifuge and reserve. If we don’t have a centrifuge, we leave it in a colander so that it releases the water well and the tuna and walnut salad is perfect.
We put the cans of tuna to drain and cut the cheese into cubes. If you do not have Burgos cheese for the lettuce and tuna salad, you can use another fresh cheese.
In a large bowl, put the lettuce, the pickled olives and onions, the slightly crumbled tuna, the walnuts and the cheese. Season with olive oil, salt and a dash of vinegar, stir carefully so as not to destroy the cheese, and that’s it! Lots of heart-healthy fats in this tuna walnut lettuce salad recipe.
