- 1 tsp. Dijon mustard use wheat/gluten-free if needed
- 1/8 tsp. salt
- 6 oz. baby spinach
- 1/4 cup red onion halved and thinly sliced (1/2 cup total)
- 5 button mushrooms sliced
- 1 avocado diced
- 1 tomato diced, or use 1 orange, sliced
- 6 .4 oz. chunk light tuna packed in water drained, or use white beans or chickpeas, sold in pouches rather than cans

Notes
Do Ahead or Delegate: Prepare the salad dressing, slice the onion and mushrooms, dice the tomato or slice the orange.
Scramble Flavor Booster: Add a handful of toasted walnuts or pine nuts for some extra crunch, and season the salad with grated Parmesan cheese and/or freshly ground black pepper.
Tip: If you're making vinaigrette dressing and you find that you're out of vinegar, consider substituting grapefruit or lemon juice for the vinegar. They are both acidic, and will impart a taste similar to vinegar.
