Healthy Twists on Tuna Salad #TunaStrong

As a fitness and nutrition coach, I know the importance of getting quality, lean protein in your daily diet.  I emphasize this to my clients, especially when they are trying to build lean muscle mass (which is important for overall body composition).  It can be a struggle, for some people, to make tasty, lean protein, meals that don’t require a lot of time and prep work.  Fast food doesn’t have to be your answer!  I’m here to share healthy living tips and a few recipes that are tasty, healthy twists on tuna salad that don’t require a lot of fuss, which is a lifesaver on busy days!!

One of my all-time favorite tuna recipes is this Mediterranean Tuna Salad.  It’s full of quality nutrients for your body and uses olive oil and lemon, instead of heavy mayo as the dressing.  Eat it on top of a salad or in a wrap, it’s versatile and delicious!

Another quick meal idea is this Spicy Paleo Tuna Salad over Lemony Kale Greens.  This is a nice twist on traditional tuna salad made with a homemade Paleo mayonnaise recipe.  This simple mayo is made with light olive oil in the food processor.  Easy breezy.
