A bit salty, but I balanced it with half of a croissant. I added cracked pepper and it was very tasty. I will make it again.

It was salty, but very good. I used Fat Free Feta cheese and the single serving cups of Dole No Sugar added mandarin oranges. I had more than 2 cups of spinach. It was a huge meal. Delicious!

Way to salty. It really felt like I needed to add crackers or maybe put it on bread. My family did not care for this at all also. I left out the feta.

I made some changes since I didn't have everything listed. My tahini sauce was also already blended with mint, parsley, cilantro, garlic olive oil and lemon. I added a juice of one lime to thin it out. I finely chopped some olives and chopped green onions. Instead of eating the tuna on top of the spinach, I chiffonade the spinach and sprinkled some sliced almonds. It didn't NEED the feta but still I wish I had some. DELISH.

It was OK. Too much for a lunch salad. Next time, I will make 2 lunches out of it. Also, won't include everything with the tuna. Put the feta and kalamata olives on the spinach separately and drizzle the tahini dressing over it. Then I can add more fresh veggies and maybe something crunchy...
