- 1/3 c. raw broccoli, finely chopped

- 4 large pieces of bendable lettuce (butter lettuce, romaine, etc.)
Equipment and supplies:
- Knife and cutting board
- Large bowl for mixing
- Plastic wrap or foil, if needed for lunchbox wrapping
What to do:
- Finely chop the carrot, red onion, broccoli, and celery stalk.
- In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, and pepper. Add tuna, carrot, red onion, broccoli, and celery and toss to combine.
