Easy recipe for healthy salad bowl with tuna and pasta
Salad bowls with tuna, pasta covered in green pesto, and lots of delicious greens! We love salad bowls for a light yet fulfilling and fresh dinner or as a luxurious lunch. It is such an easy way to get in a lot of healthy ingredients during the weekdays without having to do a lot of work in the kitchen. Even though it is basically “just” a salad, serving it as a salad bowl with some sort of protein and other special items makes it seem more like an actual meal and it looks gorgeous, too. Remember like we always say; we also taste with our eyes.
Pasta Salad with tuna
We love adding pasta to our salads. This way the salad bowl is way more fulfilling and interesting. Alternatively, bulgur, quinoa or something of that manner also works perfectly in your salad bowl. You can also add baked sweet potatoes to it. If you want it even more fulfilling you can consider using wholegrain pasta instead.
What ingredients are good for a dinner salad?
In this salad bowl recipe we have used pastas covered in green pesto, and then we’ve added avocado, cherry tomatoes, sugar snap peas, pickled red onions, and our homemade tuna salad. However, you can use any vegetables you want. Ingredients such as cucumber, edamame beans, peas, carrots, corn, zucchini etc. all taste amazing in a salad bowl. Sometimes we like to top it off with a creme fraiche dressing, chili sauce, or a chili mayo in addition to some fresh herbs such as the dill we’ve used in this recipe.
