This super easy Whole 30 and Paleo tuna salad recipe comes together with minimal ingredients in just under 10 minutes making a quick and healthy meal prep that is delicious and low carb.
When I completed my first round of Whole 30, I was constantly on the lookout for easy meals and compliant options. This easy healthy Whole 30 tuna salad recipe, was my go-to lunch and I would make a big batch to have on hand. I always have cans of albacore tuna in my pantry and this easy lunch option is incredibly quick to whip up. I keep the ingredients minimal as my husband doesn’t like celery and pickles in it, but you won’t miss them as the red onion, lemon, and parlsey give it a deliciously fresh and bright taste. Canned tuna is protein packed and as long as you use a good quality mayonnaise, this is your perfect healthy lunch. I love the Primal Kitchen brand for mayonnaise as it contains only simple ingredients. If you do not want to add mayonnaise or do not have it on hand a great option would be to use mashed avocado. The fresh herbs can also vary. If you love dill you can replace the fresh parsley with fresh dill and if you want celery go ahead and add a couple of diced celery stalks. This delicious and simple tuna salad is not only Whole 30 but also Paleo. It is definitely one of the most convenient meals I make. I love to eat it in lettuce wraps or with raw veggies and topped with some hot sauce but my family loves to make sandwiches with it. This tuna salad is made with all natural ingredients and is great as a main dish, quick lunch, or a snack. Enjoy!
