Make

  1. 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.

  2. Toss vinaigrette with green lettuce, mushrooms, green beans, tuna, leftover potatoes, and walnuts.

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