Easy Healthy Tuna Salad
From: Tori Avey @ toriavey.com/toris-kitchen/healthy-mediterranean-tuna-salad/
Here's a a quick mid-week recipe that you can whip up in a couple minutes flat. This Healthy Mediterranean Tuna Salad is full of flavor. I add fresh lemon juice for tartness, fresh basil for an herby flavor, and celery for crunch. Olive oil replaces heavy, and often processed, mayonnaise. Season the mixture generously with salt and pepper, and you’ve got a fresh tuna salad with a twist. You won’t miss the mayo!
Prep time: 5 min
Fix Time: 5 mn
Total time: 10 min
Serves: 2
Ingredients
5 oz olive oil packed tuna, drained (if you're watching your fat intake, use water-packed tuna)
1 tbsp fresh chopped basil
1/2 stalk celery, minced
1 finely chopped scallion - green part only (optional)
2 tbsp lemon juice, or more to taste
Extra virgin olive oil to taste or avocado oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Pour the tuna in a small mixing bowl.
Use a fork to break the tuna chunks into very small pieces.
Add the basil, celery and lemon juice to the bowl.
Use the fork to stir all the ingredients together till well mixed
Add extra virgin olive oil to moisten the tuna to your liking.
I usually use between 1 and 2 tbsp.
Season with salt and pepper to taste; sea salt and freshly ground pepper is best.
Serve.
Add in suggestions: dill pickles, black olives, avocado, roasted red pepper hummus, just use your imagination!
