Our favourite easy tuna salad

lettuce (or similar fresh green leaves)

tuna

tomatoes (chopped)

cucumber (sliced)

beetroot ((canned

cheese

avocado

carrot (grated or finely sliced (optional))

onion ((raw))

walnuts (crushed)

extra virgin olive oil

Start by placing the fresh green leaves in the bottom of 2 big wide bowls.

Divide the tuna between the 2 bowls, then add all the other ingredients (apart from the walnuts and onions) next to each other in little piles.

Scatter the onion over the tuna and the walnuts over all the ingredients in the bowls.

Drizzle over the olive oil and balsamic glaze.

Serve with the toasted bread and mayonnaise (if you like).

Easy tuna salad

Think tuna is boring? This Kicking Low FODMAP Cajun Tuna Salad is spicy, but not too spicy, simple to make and can be served as a salad, a sandwich or turned into cooked patties.

Kicking Low FODMAP Cajun Tuna Salad

carrot,

½ finely chopped green bell pepper

(56 g) mayonnaise

Casa de Santé Cajun/Creole Seasoning

rice wine vinegar

Low FODMAP sliced bread

Lettuce and tomato, (optional)

Open one can of light chunk tuna and drain very well. Empty tuna into a mixing bowl.

Grate the carrot and then use a paper towel, cheesecloth or linen towel to squeeze out the excess liquid. Keep squeezing until dry. Add carrots to tuna; discard or drink the juice!

Add the green pepper, mayonnaise, seasoning and vinegar and mix everything together well. Make sandwiches or serve as a salad and enjoy! You can also refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 days. See Tips below for a way to turn your tuna mixture into cooked, crispy tuna patties.

This Tuna salad with avocado and cucumbers is a modern twist on an American classic. Flaky tuna mixed with creamy avocado, fresh cucumbers, and the best herbs and spices make for the easiest warm-weather lunch!

Tuna Salad

(5-ounces each) tuna

avocados

cucumber

red onion (thinly sliced)

parsley

olive oil

lemon

salt and black pepper (to taste)

Place prepped tuna into a large salad bowl.

Add in diced avocado, cucumber slices, sliced onions, and parsley or cilantro. Set aside.

In a small mixing bowl combine olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper; whisk to combine.

Taste for seasonings and adjust accordingly. I almost always add more lemon and salt.

Add salad dressing to the salad; toss to combine. If time permits, chill the salad in the fridge for 15 to 30 minutes before serving.

I made this for a family get together and now I'm here sending the recipe to my sister in law because they loved it so much. With the leftovers, I added feta cheese crumbles and turned it into a Greek salad! So good!

This was such a light a flavorful salad; definitely worthy of a restaurant! Looking forward to enjoying this again, tomorrow!

I just love how flavorful this is!! So delish!

These ingredients are so great together! I should try it too!

The avocado really makes this recipe! This was so easy to whip up and the flavor was amazing.

An easy keto tuna salad recipe that takes 2 minutes to make and doesn't require any chopping! Kid friendly, low carb, paleo, whole 30 and Atkins approved!

Keto Tuna Salad - Low Carb, Paleo, Whole 30

tuna fish, drained (about 2 cans)

mayonnaise (I prefer Duke’s or Hellman’s)

onion flakes

salt and pepper

Combine the tuna fish, mayonnaise, and dried onion flakes in a small bowl.

Serve with lettuce for keto, or on bread or toast if not.

I've been using dried onion flakes for tuna salad. It gives great flavor. And apart from that, it is good for the health especially if you are diabetic.

I love tuna salad.....a can of tuna is always in my pantry for emergencies (read:  too tired to cook).  My favorite zero carb addition is to add between 1/2 tsp or so of dried dill weed to it.....really adds a bright note to all the creaminess.  Fresh dill is obviously even better if you have it.  Toss in a few capers if you are feeling  zingy.

Easy, simple, and delicious. I made this first on the soup diet plan, but now I make it for a snack or lunch every other week or so. So much protein and the onion flakes add a nice flavor!

This is a classic lunch for our family great recipe.
