Tuna Scallion Cilantro Yellow Pepper Salad

The Kid gave me a book about salads for my birthday, so I've been reading that and got inspired. The main thrust of the book is not to follow the recipes but instead to think fresh, think flavor and color balance, and go with what is available. It's a salad, not a thesis, and recipes are made to be varied.

Not really having anything specific around for the recipes in the book, I instead took the book's spirit, scoured the fridge and cabinets, and made myself a very yummy salad for lunch.

1 cup mixed baby greens
1 small can (2.7oz) white albacore tuna in water (I like Bumble Bee)
1/4 cup scallions
1/4 yellow bell pepper, diced
1 chopped Pepperoncini ($1.69 a jar at Fairway!)
1 tsp Earthbound Farm Organic Farm Chopped Fresh Cilantro Organic Herb Puree
1 tsp EVOO

(The cilantro puree was an experiment. Just looked cool in the store. The point comes from canola oil in the mix. It's tasty enough, and really handy -- squeeze and go -- but will probably go with fresh cilantro in the future just because I like more control over the oil/herb ratio. Plus it's pretty expensive.)

The salad hit the spot -- awesome, tasty, fresh, filling.
