Mediterranean Tuna Salad

I was craving a tuna salad after a big workout so decided to come up with a healthier version of the mayo loaded tuna we all know and love. It is light, refreshing and full of delicious flavor, perfect for summer days. Since there is no mayo, you can pack it up for picnics, BBQ’s or outdoor get-togethers without concern for refrigeration. I used skipjack tuna (I read that it is lower in mercury), but think I prefer the flavor of albacore. I used tuna canned in water because I wanted to add my own oil to the salad.

Light and full of crunchy veggies, this might become your new go to for a filling and nutritious lunch. You can mix and match veggies, but I loved the crunch and taste of all of these.
