Gluten-Free Recipes – Healthy Mediterranean Tuna Salad

I hope everyone is having an incredible summer. My summer has been full of gluten-free food and travel adventures, keeping me from blogging on a regular basis. I have been amassing a collection of restaurant finds, new gluten-free products and delicious recipes to share. I just haven’t had a chance to actually write about them yet. I knew I had neglected ‘A Gluten-Free Guide’ for far too long when my best friend chastised me recently. I am back to bring you a recipe before my vacation to CA, where I promise to try out some new restaurants and recipes and report back.

Healthy Mediterranean Tuna Salad (from Eat Food Nutrition)

Ingredients
2 – 6.5 ounce cans water-packed tuna, drained
1 – 15 ounce can white beans, drained and rinsed well
1/4 cup finely chopped scallions (you can sub shallots or onions)

4 cups chopped spinach leaves (you can sub arugula, mesculun or the green of your choice)

While I have been on a summer blogging vacation, the rest of the gluten-free blog community has been busy – Sea’s “Adopt A Gluten-Free Bloggger” event, highlights some of the best gluten-free cooking on the Web this summer.
