Make
-
Make vinaigrette by mixing together shallots, Dijon, honey, and red wine vinegar (double if making Thursday’s salad too - the vinaigrettes are pretty similar). Warm up just slightly in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds. Whisk in oil and then season to taste with salt and pepper.
-
Toss vinaigrette with green lettuce, mushrooms, green beans, tuna, leftover potatoes, and walnuts.

Since tonight’s dinner was so easy, go ahead and get a head start on tomorrow’s slow cooker meal!
