Description

This is my favorite tuna salad recipe. I subbed the traditional mayo for yoghurt and olive oil and added in extra veggies for an added nutrition boost.

Ingredients
  • 6 oz can tuna (I prefer Albacore or Skip Jack)
  • 2 tbsp plain yoghurt
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp carrots, fine diced
  • 2 tbsp celery, finely diced
  • 2 green onions, finely diced
  • 2 tbsp roasted pumpkin or sunflower seeds
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, finely minced (or 1 Tablespoon dried)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely minced (or 1 Tablespoon dried)
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 3 tsp stoneground mustard
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. 1

    Drain the tuna and break it up with a fork in a small to medium-sized bowl.  Add in the remaining ingredients and gently mix with the fork until combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
