Healthy Tuna Salad
Healthy tuna salad is a light, refreshing meal packed with fresh herbs, crunchy garden cucumbers, and the delightful twist of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1/2 Onion finely diced
- 2 stalks Celery diced
- 4 Cans Tuna I like Wild Planet
- 1.5 Cups Mayo
- Handful fresh herbs optional
- 1 Lemon juiced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Dice onions and celery.
- In a large bowl, add tuna, mayo, and chopped veggies.
- Chop herbs and add to the bowl. This step is totally optional, but fresh herbs add so much brightness and flavor to the salad. My favorite is cilantro.
- Add salt and pepper to taste. Squeeze lemon juice over the top. Mix well.
Notes
- Chop onions and vegetables very small if you plan to serve this salad to children who may not like certain vegetables. This will help to hide them within the dish.
- Be sure to drain your tuna thoroughly to avoid a watery salad.
- There are so many different ways you can enjoy this healthy tuna salad. Serve it as an open-faced sandwich on sourdough bread, stuffed into a sourdough pita, or wrapped in a sourdough tortilla. You could even add in some cooked, chilled sourdough pasta for a healthy tuna pasta salad.
- Turn this into a tuna melt by following my sourdough grilled cheese instructions and just adding the tuna salad.
