Tuna, Spinach, and Quinoa Salad
This salad has just enough spice to be interesting, and not so much that you wish you hadn’t eaten it and start digging around for a mint. The Everything but the Bagel Seasoning truly transforms the tuna into something you might wind up craving.
1 teaspoon minced shallot
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
5 ounce can of tuna, packed in water, drained
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
½ tablespoon grainy mustard
1 teaspoon Trader Joe’s Everything but the Bagel Seasoning (or another “everything bagel” seasoning)
Handful of baby spinach leaves
¼ cup cooked quinoa
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon roasted pepitas
In a small bowl, mix together the shallot and lemon juice. Let this sit on the counter while you make the rest of the salad.
In another small bowl, using a fork, carefully mix together the tuna, mayonnaise, mustard, and Everything but the Bagel Seasoning.
Pile the spinach on a plate. Scatter the quinoa over. Whisk the olive oil into the shallot-lemon mixture, and pour the dressing over the salad. Top with the tuna, and sprinkle the pepitas over everything.
