Caper Tuna Salad
My caper tuna salad is a fresh and flavorful twist on a classic favorite. This easy lunch recipe combines tender chunks of high-quality tuna with the tangy zest of capers, creating a satisfying blend of flavors that's both satisfying and nutritious.
Equipment
- 1 Medium bowl
Ingredients
- 3 Cans Albacore Tuna
- 1 Lemon Juiced
- 1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Avocado Oil
- ¼ Cup Avocado Mayo
- 1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
- 3 Tablespoons Briny Capers
- ½ Teaspoon Kosher Salt
- ½ Teaspoon Black Pepper
- ½ Small Red Onions Finely Diced
- 9 Pickle Chips Finely Diced
- 3 Tablespoons Fresh Dill Finely Chopped
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients according to the descriptions above (finely dice your onions and pickle chips and chop your fresh dill.
- Add all of the ingredients into a large bowl and mix until everything is well combined. Stuff your caper tuna salad into a large whole wheat pita like I did or feel free to serve on a bed of arugula, lettuce (as a lettuce wrap), or with whole grain crackers. Enjoy!
- Hint: You can store the tuna into glass air-tight container bento boxes for an easy and healthy meal prep. Store lettuce or bread separately, and if you are using crackers make sure to put them into a plastic baggy or wrap them very well in plastic wrap before placing in the fridge so they don't get stale.
