My kids like this as an alternative to tuna sandwiches and I like the fiber and diversity of nutrients.

Ingredients:

• juice of 1/2 lemon
• finely chopped fresh herbs, parsley, basil, chives work nicely together or individually

Directions:

1. Mix all the ingredients into a large bowl. Chill salad before serving or packing up in a lunchbox.
2. Serve with a side of whole grain crackers.
