This Tuna salad is quite plain and simple, yet it preserves all its goodness in it (and I forgot to mention that its quite a healthy and Low Carb Meal!) This recipe is only for one person so if you want to make more obviously you have to adjust the ingredients.

• Olive Oil (Optional)

Method:

• On a plate, shred the lettuce into bite sized pieces until you fill the base of the plate
  
• Add the rucola (as desired) and arrange the valeriana on top until you have a 3 layer greenery.
  
• Drain excess oil of tuna (if using tuna in oil) and put it in the middle of the plate
  
• Slice the Bell Pepper and put the slices around the plate
  
• Distribute the Chickpeas and garnish with some Balsamic Glaze
