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.
- 1 5oz can of chunk light tuna in water, drained
- 2oz fat free Greek yogurt
- 2 large, ripe, strawberries chopped
- 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
- ½ tsp dried parsley
- 2 pinches kosher salt
Put all ingredients in a bowl.
Mix until combined.

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.

OK so I was a little nervous trying this recipe but I was desperate for something new...OH MY GOSH it's so good. Thanks for being so creative and sharing the ideas with me (well and the rest that might be stuck in a rut!) YUM-O.
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!
Oh my this looks super delicious.
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.
What a great combo idea! I never would have thought of that!
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.
