What to do in a boring day?? Think think think....! then suddenly, my mom said she wants to eat vegetables. So.. I thought of doing this kind of recipe.And the boring day is now a happy day. n_n Well, I've made a very simple appetizer than the examples I mentioned. If you want to try this recipe, here's how I made it..

You will need:

Lettuce
Pineapple chunks
apples
Century tuna, flakes in oil or chunks in water
Cucumber
A pinch of salt
Lemon
cheese (optional) 
Thousand island dressing or any choice of dressing

How to make:

Drain the the century tuna and the pineapple chunks. In a bowl, mix the said ingredients except the lettuce, cheese and dressing. In a large plate, place the lettuce through the sides. then pour the mix ingredients. To finish the presentation, use a regular plastic bag and put the dressing. Then cut a small hole in the corner of the bag. This is where is the dressing will come out. Next, you will need to work the dressing down towards the tip opening and twist the open end of the bag shut. Now you have a piping bag. Drizzle it to the mix veggies and other toppings, add the grated cheese. And you have now a healthy and easy to make appetizer. n_n
