Tuna salad | www.KoyoteKate.com

One of my favorite clean eating and quick lunches! No cooking required!

Ingredients:

Bibb or Boston Lettuce for wraps
1 can chunk light tuna in water
1 cup of veggies – broccoli and celery
1/2 cup grapes
1/4 cup creamy herb dressing

Creamy herb dressing

1 medium avocado
1.5 cups nonfat plain Greek yogurt
4 tbsp. chopped cilantro
2 tbsp. lemon juice
1/4 tsp. sea salt
1 dash white pepper
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

For Dressing: Blend all ingredients until smooth. Store leftover dressing in a covered container in the refrigerator. This dressing is wonderful on salads, but also great as a dip for raw vegetables.

For Tuna Salad: Mix all ingredients together and place into lettuce wraps.

Let me know what you think!

Being that I grew up not eating red meat, school lunches were quite difficult for my mother. I ate a lot of tuna salad sandwiches while everyone else was having their deli meat sandwiches. I still really enjoy Tuna salad sandwiches but not the calories that come along with them. This recipe is a lighter version which includes broccoli and gives it a nice crunch. It makes for a quick easy delicious lunch!

Ingredients:

1 can light tuna in water
3 stalks of chopped celery
head of broccoli
1/2 chopped red onion
2 tbsp light mayonnaise
2 tbsp mustard
2 tbsp pickle relish
fresh pepper

I mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl and then separate into 2 separate bowls – one for lunch and another for the next day (or I guess you could share). Notice how little mayo is used but it really adds a ton of flavor.

Enjoy!!
