Apple Tuna Almond Salad
I like tuna salad. I just don’t like all the fat that comes along with it. For example, According to the menu at Subway, a tuna sandwich has over 400 calories and 20 grams of fat. That’s not even including cheese or additional mayo. This healthier lighter version of tuna salad is quick & easy to make. Leaving you feeling satisfied and guilt free with TONS of protein from the tuna & the nuts. If you are looking for a low fat, low carb or gluten free meal you can eat it on a bed of greens. Otherwise it is fantastic on two slices of bread or in a wrap.
Here are the ingredients you will need: Albacore Tuna, chopped Apple, diced celery, sliced green onion, chopped or sliced nuts of your choice, fresh greens, lemon juice, dollop of good quality mayo, dijon mustard, salt & pepper
This is such a healthy & satisfying tuna salad recipe. Very light on the mayo and bursting with fresh ingredients. You can use any nut you would like.. I have made this before with walnuts and it was great. I just happen to have an abundance of almonds at the moment so I am using those.
Ingredients
