2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 tablespoon soy sauce, preferably low-sodium gluten free
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1/2 cup plain, low-fat yogurt
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Salt and pepper to taste
Salad
1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
1 medium tomato, diced
1/2 pound fresh spinach
1 cup canned garbanzo beans, drained
1 can water-packed tuna, drained
Place all dressing ingredients in a small- to medium-sized mixing bowl. Whisk to combine. Add the cucumber and the tomato, and gently stir to coat the vegetables with dressing. Allow this mixture to sit, marinating the vegetables a bit, while preparing the rest of the salad.
Next, place spinach, garbanzo beans, and tuna in a very large salad bowl or large stainless-steel mixing bowl. Add the dressing and veggie mixture and toss thoroughly but gently to combine.
