Easy Whole30 Tuna Salad Lunch Bowl
My favorite go-to lunch, this easy Whole30 tuna salad lunch bowl is a creamy and spicy tuna salad served on a bed of perfectly paired veggies, plus it’s filling, healthy and so tasty.
Ingredients
- 1 can tuna
- 1 ½ - 2 tablespoon mayo (see notes)
- 1 diced pickled jalapeño
- 1 teaspoon pickled jalapeño juice
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 cup spinach or mixed greens
- ¼ cup grape or cherry tomatoes
- ¼ cup baby carrots
- ½ sliced avocado
- ½ cup cooked quinoa (optional, see notes)
Instructions
- Use a fork to mix the tuna with 1 ½ to 2 tablespoons of mayo (depending on how creamy you want it).
- Add the diced pickled jalapeño, pickled juice, and olive oil (leave out the olive oil if you’re tuna already has some).
- Mix everything together and set aside.
- In a medium to large bowl, place the spinach or mixed greens on the bottom.
- Arrange the tomatoes, carrots and avocado in the bowl.
- Lastly, add the prepared tuna salad.
- Season with salt and pepper.
Notes
*For a Whole30 compliant tuna salad, be sure to use compliant tuna, mayo, and pickled jalapeños.
*If not on Whole30, add some cooked quinoa to the bowl for added nutrients and protein. If you do use quinoa, you can split the tuna into two portions.
