If you’re looking for a dairy free tuna salad, then this is for you! This Healthy Tuna Salad is literally the best thing between sliced bread!
We all could use a little more simple in our lives, right?
I thought so.
That’s why today I’m bringing you a simple, delicious, and classic remade.
Enter… Healthy Tuna Salad!
What makes tuna salad healthy?
Well, tuna is a great way to help meet the recommendation to consume seafood at least twice a week in your meal plan.
You may have heard that seafood can be toxic or contains toxic chemicals. While that’s not entirely true, that are certainly safer sources of seafood than others. This has to deal with where they are found in the ocean and what they themselves eat.
To save your sanity and help remind you which are the best choices to choose from, I highly recommend using this cheat sheet from the FDA.
I don’t like mayo. What else can I use?
The varieties are endless!
Seriously, consider making this recipe which uses a hummus base, or swap in avocado.
Still not loving those ideas?
Try olive oil, an infused vinegar or a little hot sauce. Really, whatever excites your taste buds!

Great minds think alike girlfriend! When I got a shipment of the Sabra spreads a few weeks ago (before I knew about the ReDux contest), the first thing I did with it (after taste testing all three straight from a spoon!) was mix it into tuna! Hoping to get my recipe up in time for the contest this week!
Elizabeth Shaw says
Ya! I hope you do- I love new tuna recipes!!

YUM! I’m not a mayo lover either, and sometimes my Greek yogurt just isn’t right, so I can’t wait to try this spread! Perfect with tuna~
Elizabeth Shaw says
Absolutely- I totally feel you! I hope you enjoy!
