Tuna


On days like today, turning the stove on seems counterproductive, so tuna is appealing.  I wanted to try something lighter than my regular recipe and found THIS recipe from One Balanced Life. 


2 cans tuna, drained

1/4 cup celery, finely chopped

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

3 tbsp fresh dill, finely chipped

1/4 cup + 1 tbsp avocado oil mayo

2 tbsp plain greek yogurt

1 lemon, juiced

1/2 tsp lemon zest

1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar

1 tsp dijon mustard

1/2 tsp sea salt

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp black pepper


If you make this for a family of 4 and divide it equally, it approximately this:

Calories: ~233

Protein: ~23.5 g

Carbohydrates: ~2 g

Fiber: ~0.4 g

Net Carbs: ~1.6 g

Fat: ~14 g


Not bad. And, fresh dill is delightful. 

Rookie mistake... I forgot the mustard which would definitely add. One daughter also suggested capers just to be fancy. 

Tuna salad has always been a summer favorite especially when the garden tomatoes are ready. My favorite is tuna salad on toast at Crown Burger with thick leaves of crunchy iceberg lettuce, but, I have never found a good copycat recipe? Do you have one? 

Tuna salad aficionado? Do you have a favorite recipe?
