Only 5 main ingredients go in this tuna salad
Tuna → protein source with good amount of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Chickpeas → packed with protein and fibre. Avocados → while adding a good amount of healthy fats, the avocado adds a creaminess to the salad without needing any mayo. Tomatoes → add a delicious texture to this tuna salad, along with a good source of vitamin C, biotin, molybdenum and vitamin K. Cucumbers → a crispy, crunchy veg that helps keep you hydrated while flushing out toxins.
Those ingredients make the bulk of this salad, but then you have a gorgeous lemon garlic dressing adding extra nutrition.
Tuna salad for meal prep!
We make a huge batch of this tuna salad weekly (without the dressing or avocado) and throw it into airtight meal prep containers. When ready to eat, I chop up our avocados, add them in and drizzle with ready made dressing! So EASY!
