Step 1:

How do you make an arugula and canned tuna salad? Gather all the ingredients listed in the recipe. You can adjust the amount and mix of greens to suit your tastes.
Step 2:

Peel the carrots and onion. If you can, use red, shallot, or white onion — these three varieties have a mild flavor and are great in vegetable mixes. Rinse the napa cabbage leaves, arugula, and vegetables in clean water and dry them well with a kitchen towel or paper towels. There should be no excess water on the ingredients.
Step 3:

Cut the napa cabbage into thin strips, as in the photo, and put it into a deep salad bowl.
Step 4:

Grate the carrots on a coarse grater or a julienne slicer for Korean-style salads. Add them to the cabbage.
Step 5:

Next, add the arugula. Instead of arugula, you can use any salad greens you like — spinach leaves, corn salad, iceberg, and so on.
Step 6:

Slice the onion into thin slivers or half-rings. Add the canned tuna and onion to the bowl. Try to keep the pieces of fish intact so the tuna doesn't turn to mush as you toss the salad.
Step 7:

Take the olives out of the brine and add them to the salad. Olives of different colors look beautiful and appetizing.
Step 8:

Salt the finished salad to taste, add ground pepper and finely chopped fresh herbs. Drizzle with a little olive or vegetable oil and some lemon juice.
Step 9:

Toss the salad gently before serving. Done!

A salad with fresh herbs, cabbage, and canned tuna is incredibly good for you. It's full of vitamins the body needs. Canned tuna contains omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are good for the cardiovascular system, while its high B6 and B12 content supports a healthy nervous system. Tuna is low in calories, so it's ideal for anyone watching their figure. It's added to all kinds of vegetable salads, made into tuna sandwiches, stirred into soups, and so on. Enjoy!
Shake the can before buying. The more liquid inside, the less fish.
