Spinach Salad with Tuna, Baked Asparagus, and Mushrooms

All of this. Only 223 calories. I. Am. Stuffed.


SO I got home from work and I was super hungry. I had a lot of left over vegetables and I didn't really know what to do with them, so this is what I came up with. I'll break it down by each separate item.


Spinach Salad with Tuna

What you'll need:

2 cups of spinach

1 can of tuna packed in water

1/2 dill pickle

Seasonings

Dressing if you wish (I used 1 tablespoon of balsamic)


What you'll need to do:

This one is almost too easy that I feel stupid writing it down but..

Put spinach on the plate

Open the tuna, plop it right on top, or throw it in a bowl and mix in some seasoning (I used garlic powder, salt, pepper, and chives)

Chop up the pickle and throw that on there too, adds a nice crunch and some acidity

Put the dressing on.


Boom done.


Garlic Mushrooms

What you'll need:

1-2 cups mushrooms

1 clove garlic

1 green onion

Spices/seasonings


What you'll need to do:

Wash your mushrooms and cut off the stems

Take your clove of garlic and peel it, mince it up or leave the pieces bigger (I leave them bigger because I'm a huge garlic fan)

Cut the fuzzy end off of the green onion, and chop it into discs (leave the green leafy green part off)

Throw it all in a pan and put it on the stove on medium heat until the mushrooms shrink up!

Add water if anything starts to brown or burn and it'll be just fine!


Boom. Done.


Finally the Asparagus

What you'll need:

About 2 cups of asparagus (I truly guessed at how much I used since my food scale is broken)

Seasonings

Cooking Spray


What you'll need to do:

Preheat your oven to 425

Take your asparagus and break off the bottom woody part. The snap is super satisfying!

Put your asparagus in a single layer on a baking sheet so they will cook evenly

I sprayed mine with a quick squirt of cooking spray so that the seasoning would stick

Throw your seasonings on there, I used salt, pepper, and garlic powder

Bake at 425 for 11 minutes!


BOOM. DONE.


Now that's living crunchy
