Skinny Tuna Salad
Skinny Tuna Salad
"Tuna Salad! Frankly, I dislike totally naming my food ‘skinny’ simply because life is to enjoy and food should be a slice of that enjoyment. ? This tuna salad is truly delicious and I can say that I actually could live with a salads like this. The only trouble is that there is so much more food out there that I simply can’t ignore unfortunately. I am a foodie and I know it ? This tuna salad recipe is a delightful power salad packed with Omega 3 oils and goodness. It contains fresh herbs and vegetables like celery, peppers, red onion. It is simply delish."
NotesI did mention 4-5 springs of parsley but you can add according to how much you like parsley. You can replace this with some dill or any other fresh herb that you may like. Be adventurous, like I always say. ?
