  • 1 handful mungo bean sprouts

Instructions

  2. Cut the lettuce into thin stripes and the tomatoes, cucumber, and spring onions into small pieces.
  3. Transfer everything to a big bowl along with the sprouts.
  4. Half the avocado and dice the flash, then scoop it out with a spoon into the bowl.
  5. Add the tuna (without the olive oil) and the sundried tomatoes. Toss until everything is well incorporated.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. The lettuce will wilt quite quickly and won't be as crunchy after storing.
