Light lunch #1- Pasta salad

Grabbed a few items from the fridge and pantry today.  
Noodles were left over from last nights meal (see future post), lettuce was from the other night when I made fish tacos (see future post) rinsed and placed in ziplock bag with a paper towel to keep fresh.

Items purchased last week-Light Ranch, garden noodles, Romaine Lettuce, red pepper, can of tuna, avocado.

Easy way to cut avocado-then scoop with a spoon

Left to right portion sizes-10 year old, Mama, 5 year old.

This was pretty easy!  Placed the cut up lettuce in first, then, 1/2 cup pasta, 1 oz. tuna, and sprinkled in the red peppers and avocado.  Used about 2 Tbs. light Ranch (I think a vinegar and oil dressing would be yummy with this salad, too)  Estimated the cost around $5.  Nutrition:  30 grams carbohydrates, 10 grams fat (from avocado and dressing) very low sodium.  The best part was enjoying it with my kids on the patio
