RASPBERRY-CHILI TUNA ON GREENS



Raspberry-Chili Tuna on Greens image

A Taste of Home Recipe. Healthy and wonderful; definitely a "wow" kind of meal! I add a shake of Tobasco sauce to the marinade and I add mandarine orange slices and some almonds or sunflower seeds to the salad. Do DRIZZLE the dressing on the salad mixture, as it is thick and sweet and wonderful. . .but it is easy to over-do it (trust me. . .I dumped all of the dressing in the salad bowl and had to add extra lettuce to compensate).
