Healthy Tuna Salad / Garden of Eden Salad

My sister Asha loves salads. She has the knack to make elaborate ones effortlessly. While the rest of us simply throw all the ingredients together, toss it, and serve it in a nondescript manner, she patiently goes through her recipe days in advance.

Next, she chooses the crockery to match. She then makes a list and scours the shops searching for the right ingredients.

Then comes the washing, drying, cutting, scraping, grating, and endless chopping. Finally, the masterpiece is created and hidden in the back of the refrigerator away from greedy nieces and prying eyes.   Needless to say when served not a leaf remains!
This recipe is an adaptation of the original and a great meal for weight watchers. It makes a wonderful accompaniment to any Christmas menu.

A Non-Veg Option

is to add a can of Tuna Flakes. Drain the water out, add a tsp of oil and mix into the salad. This is really delicious.
