Crunchy Vegetable Tuna Salad Recipe
I have been on a real tuna kick lately. I keep thinking, how can I jazz up this 5 Oz can of tuna to make it taste like a 200 dollar plate of chicken breast, potatoes, and asparagus at a fancy fundraiser? Today it is all about VEGETABLES! I want the satisfying crunch of a carrot stick, the fresh zest of lemon, and the cool freshness of cucumber whipped together with fabulous white albacore tuna and slapped on a bed of amazing lettuce greens or slathered on a piece of crisp yummy toast.
Now, how does that sound? Food should be something you look forward to sitting down and enjoying.
No more blah, tuna, and mayo on wheat! Let‘s go rogue and add amazing vegetables and the king of all fancy herbs, dill.
There is something liberating about creating a recipe that gives you the freedom to just add what you love. Our Crunchy Vegetable Tuna Salad Recipe is all that and a bag of bagels!
