Keto and paleo healthy tuna salad bursts with flavor from Dijon mustard, hot sauce, garlic and cilantro. Served on 90 second keto bread.
A tasty and healthy tuna salad gets tons of flavor from Dijon mustard, hot sauce, garlic and cilantro.
This delicious healthy tuna salad is keto and paleo. I use avocado oil mayonnaise (Sir Kensington’s brand, available at Whole Foods and Walmart, is wonderful). I believe that avocado oil is far superior to soybean oil. Most commercial mayonnaise products are made with soybean oil.
Since I use water packed tuna in this healthy tuna salad recipe, I add quite a bit of mayo – 3 tablespoons. Otherwise it’s too dry. But oil packed tuna is usually packed in – you guessed it – soybean oil. So it’s best to use water packed tuna.
In the past, before avocado oil mayonnaise became readily available, I used sour cream instead of mayonnaise. That was delicious too (though not paleo obviously).
MY LATEST VIDEOSThis healthy tuna salad is also very easy! I make it with just a few readily available ingredients. If you don’t have fresh parsley or cilantro, you can use dried herbs instead – try 1/2 teaspoon. Same goes for garlic – garlic powder is fine.
I usually serve this healthy tuna salad on toasted 90 second bread (as shown in the video), or on a bed of lettuce.
