Happy Monday friends! I hope your week is kicking off to a great start! If it isn’t go make this incredible simple tuna salad. It will turn your day right around. If you haven’t noticed yet, I am not into time consuming or complicated meals. Nah. Most days I have limited time to make a meal and I don’t want to spend my days slaving away in the kitchen. Not only is this recipe crazy simple, it also involves no cooking. So don’t tell me you don’t know how or like cooking it because it ain’t going to work.
I have been making some sort of similar concoction to this salad for months so I finally decided to share it on the blog. That’s another awesome aspect to this salad. You can make it however you want. Not a tuna fan? That’s cool; it’s not for everyone. Use chicken or canned salmon instead. Thrive Market has this really good canned salmon that I can’t wait to try in this recipe.
While making this recipe I was thinking of a few other similar recipes I have made on the blog that I completely forgot about. I can’t wait to make these few recipes again. This week in Wisco is supposed to be incredibly hot and humid so turning on the oven just isn’t an option. I am thinking of whipping up my Paleo Chicken Salad for sure! If simple salads like this is exactly what you are looking for, make sure to give these two a try too!
Anytime I use mayo I always use this avocado mayo from Primal Kitchen. I have made my own mayo and tried other brands, but nothing compares to Primal Kitchen. It tastes better than regular mayo and the clean ingredients are perfect for my sensitive stomach. If you haven’t tried Primal Kitchen mayo yet, what are you waiting for! Get on that! I love them so much that they even gave me a special promo code to share with all of you! At checkout, use code kissbybrooke for 10% off your entire order!
Now, make it a great week by making healthy choices! The more good choices you can make each and every day the easier it will be to continue making those healthy choices. Kick your week off right and make this salad for lunch or dinner!
I almost forgot! For any parents out there, Avri LOVED this tuna salad. I wasn’t expecting her to like it, but she devoured it. This would be a great family friendly meal for littles too!
