Canned Lunch?

This afternoon for lunch I decided to make a simple salad.  Tuna had been on sale at the store, we had needed some, and with the words "the best you can afford" and "quality over quantity" in my head I reached for the tuna that even on sale was over $1 a can.  It made me pause to think about qualms over a can of tuna, with it's healthy proteins and meal capabilities, but how I won't hesitate to pick G up a bottle of root beer because "it's only a dollar."  But that is a conversation for another day.  So I picked up a couple cans of tuna in olive oil. 

With red leaf lettuce, sliced onion and tomatoes from our CSA and the can of tuna (drained) with freshly cracked black pepper I had a delicious salad that really hit the spot.  Salads and soups are my go-to healthy, simple meals.  You can throw so many things into them, and they are light but satisfying.
