    Strawberry Tuna Salad

    I know they aren’t in season yet locally, but the strawberries in my grocery store smelled amazing! I couldn’t pass them up and I don’t regret it one bit. It’s like a little prequel to summer. I can’t wait!

    I decided to make tuna salad for lunch yesterday since the boys were eating leftover Chinese. At first I was just going to make one of my standard tuna ideas but then I spied the strawberries and thought, why not?

    OMG What a great combo! The sweet strawberry bites went perfectly with the tuna and adding a little balsamic really brought it together. As soon as I took a bite I thought, "Why isn’t this more popular?"

    Maybe it is, but I've just been living under a rock. Who knows?

    Next time I probably won’t use as much yogurt because it was a little runny for my taste but I’ll share how I made it yesterday and you can adjust.

    Ingredients

    • 1 5oz can of chunk light tuna in water, drained
    • 2oz fat free Greek yogurt
    • 2 large, ripe, strawberries chopped
    • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
    • ½ teaspoon dried parsley
    • 2 pinches kosher salt

    Instructions

    Put all ingredients in a bowl.

    Mix until combined.

    Don’t you just love easy recipes?

    I served mine on a sandwich thin but I could totally see it on a bed of fresh spinach, in a wrap or stuffed in a pita.

    Here’s nutritional info for just the salad...

      Can I substitute the strawberry for a different fruit? What do you suggest?

        The first 2 that come to mind are blueberries and mango. Grapes are good too!

      What an amazing recipe. My sons loves tuna and Strawberries but never in the world I could of imagined such a combo. I will try this for my son and give it a whirl. He is crazy for both, but lets see what he thinks of it together....Thanks for the great post btw...

      I thought strawberries and tuna should never be put together, but this looks delicious. I'll admit it, I really wanna try this.

      It seems like an odd combination but it is low fat and low carb, I am going to it.

      This looks very tasty, but I'm going to have to substitute chicken since I can't tolerate the taste of tuna. good idea with the strawberries.
