Yes, this salad is weird… I mean cucumber usually doesn’t get grated and raisins cut in half. What the???!! But it all works together somehow. It came into being when I didn’t have leafy greens in the fridge. In fact, I needed to go grocery shopping, and my usual salad ingredients were all used up. I did have some pre-cooked quinoa in the fridge, though, a cucumber and a carrot, and I found a lone packet of tuna in my cupboard. I put these things together, threw in some raisins and now this salad stays in the rotation because it is somehow awesome! Go make it and tell me if I'm crazy or genius. I won't be offended if you pick the first but give it a go before you decide! I typically use this on weeks when I already have a big pot of cooked quinoa in my fridge, so this thing comes together very quickly without having to worry about making quinoa.

Protein Nerd Notes:
If you prefer a lower tuna protein option, you can utilize Protein Option 1 and use a garnish amount of just 2-3 ounces. To make up the rest of the protein you need for your Protein Nerd Level 3 requirements, you can add more protein to your dressing by omitting the Super Sweet and replacing it with a ½ Tbs TH ESSENTIAL. Or you can put a serving of TH Optimized Collagen in a coffee or tea (or chug it with water and a tsp of ESSENTIAL before your meal) or use a half serving of another optimized protein powder in another way, perhaps by starting your meal with the Side Protein & Fiber Chocolate Milk or the PYY Booster using the added tablespoon of the TH Optimized Plant Protein. If using this lower protein option, use the full ⅔ cup quinoa. For Protein Option 2, use more tuna (5 ounces), and this will provide all your Nerd 3 protein requirements; if doing so, consider cutting the quinoa amount down to ½ cup.
