All the ingredients necessary for a quick on-the-go tuna salad with olives

I use a container that lunch meats are usually packaged in these days.  I fill it 3/4 of the way with salad mix.  Then I sprinkle the olives into the container.  If you don't enjoy olives, then skip them.  However, they give he salad a little extra kick that makes it taste great.  I then close the main salad container.   Take another small plastic container with a sealable lid and mix the tuna, relish, and salad dressing together.  Then close the lid.  Done.
  

Sprinkle the olives over the salad greens

Dump the tuna into small bowl and add the relish

Add the salad dressing to the tuna mixture then stir together

Now when you get to work or wherever you are going, be sure you have a place to keep the salad cold.  When it comes time to eat, just open the container with the tuna mixture, distribute evenly over the salad, and stir.  Ready to eat, very tasty, it fills you up, and its healthy!

Quick and easy tuna salad, ready to go

Enjoy!
