Tuna salad diet weight loss
Would be great for a summer lunch with company or just at home. Cons: liked it better after 2 days in fridge. I think I would add more capers next time or add green olives. Nutrition per serving may change if servings are adjusted. Serve the tuna salad over 2 cups spinach, with the orange on the side. Instead of water packed tuna, I use chunk light tuna in olive oil (Genoa is the brand I typically use). Served over baby spinach, this is the perfect easy and light lunch or dinner salad. Packed with protein and fiber, this tuna and bean salad is ready in a flash.
Note: Chunk light tuna, which comes from the smaller skipjack or yellowfin, has less mercury than canned white albacore tuna. I used green olives instead of capers, then added sliced tomatoes, cucumber, and avocado on the side. Nutrition per serving may change if servings are adjusted. Whisk tahini, lemon juice and water together in a bowl. For an extra kick, add a pinch of crushed red pepper or cayenne. Vitamin C (162% daily value), Vitamin A (99% dv), Folate (56% dv), Iron (22% dv). This tuna salad recipe gets an upgrade with olives, feta and a tahini dressing. I also sometimes use about a pint of grape or gold cherry tomatoes in place of the pepper, sliced in half.
