This light and refreshing Italian Chopped Salad with Tuna, Artichokes & Cannellini Beans is bursting with flavor and packed with protein to give you energy all afternoon long.
This might sound a little crazy but I am so happy to see January! As someone who has achieved weight loss success and is working off those last 10 pounds for the third time, I need all of the support I can get. Let’s just say…December felt a little lonely.
Friends and family frequently reach out to me this time of year asking for practical tips and advice for living a healthier lifestyle which is why I’m thrilled to be working with Kroger this month to talk about my every day #LittleVictories that help me reach my goals. For example, any day that I successfully track my calories and get in a good sweat is a good day in my book. The trick is taking it one day at a time.
As you know, January is the month of good intentions but so often our lofty goals and ambitions quickly become overwhelming and out-of-reach. Fast forward a couple of weeks and we’ve all but given up and quit. To help pay it forward and help all of you reach your goals, I will be sharing a few of my tried and true strategies for making long-term healthy lifestyle changes throughout the entire month.
First up: let’s talk about lunch. When you meal plan for the week, do you consider what you’ll be eating beyond dinner? Please friends, don’t forget to plan out lunch for the week.
It can be as simple as planning to make a double batch of soup for dinner one night so you’ll have leftovers the next day. By taking 10-15 minutes on a Sunday to get a plan in place you are one step closer to achieving little victories all week long.
Italian Chopped Salad with Tuna, Artichokes & Cannellini Beans is ideal for prepping ahead on the weekends and enjoying throughout the week. To keep the veggies from wilting, simply wait until you are ready to serve before tossing with lemon juice and olive oil.
Lunch is easy enough, right? You’ve got this. Keep me posted – we can do this together.
Your fork is waiting.

Susan
Liz, you were not alone in December – we stay with out eating plan all year long and only go off it on rare occasions (like only once in December).
I have gotten into the habit of meal planning for all three daily meals, and that works well. I’m flexible as to what I fix on any given day, because our schedule is changeable. I also tend to plan dishes that make 4-6 servings (2-3 days of meals) so I can cook when I have time and still have food ready to heat when our schedule is tight. One thing that is both a help and a hindrance to meal planning is all the exciting recipes I get from reading food blogs. It’s exciting to have new things to try, but sometimes there are just too many things to choose from. This salad is an example of one of those great recipes.
Now, if only we had Kroger here… I had to give up Kroger when I left Richmond, VA. We desperately need a better grocery chain where I am now (all we have is Albertsons).
Dirrindia Garska
My victory was 45 minutes of exercise.
Marissa | Pinch and Swirl

I definitely eat healthier when I plan out my lunches. I also try to always have fresh fruit and raw veggies in the house for snacking.

I’ve stayed away from packaged tuna (and other packaged foods) for a few years now, but this post and a Good Eats episode on tuna are making me reconsider! Tuna is really the only reason I’m technically a pescatarian rather than a vegetarian. I just love it.

What a tasty looking salad! I’ll have to try it out! I had a green smoothie for breakfast (despite the frigid temperatures!)…I LOVE them, but sometimes it’s hard to wake up to when it’s so cold!! Have a great day Liz!

Hi Liz! You give such great tips for losing weight and leading a healthier life. And I couldn’t agree more, it’s all about one day at a time! This chopped salad looks like the perfect dish to start the new year off with. Love the tuna and artichokes in here!

Considering that I just woke up, my little victory for today so far is emptying the dishwasher even before having my coffee :-)

My little victory for today is going to be getting out to exercise today despite the FREEZING weather here in Georgia!

I love your focus this month, and I totally agree about lunch. It is where so many of us can use some improvement. I am all about left-overs myself, and since my husband switched to left-overs instead of buying an (oversized) sandwich everyday he has lost weight. Great tip, great recipe and photo!

I can’t wait to try this.
