Directions

Easy to make tuna and kale salad for a protein packed lunch or light dinner.

This tuna salad recipe is very nutritious, easy to make and gluten free.

You can easily also make this dairy free by using vegan mayo.

Ever had one of those days when you open your refrigerator and think “what am I going to throw together today”? Well this is how this salad was born.

My fridge was somewhat bare and we still had cans of tuna from when we had a hurricane scare a few months back.

I thought to myself, I got a protein, check. Need something green, crunchy, sweet and creamy. Check, check and check!

Those are my ‘salad rules.’

Kale is a superfood as it is among the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet.

It is loaded with powerful antioxidants and an excellent source of vitamin C.

Dark leafy greens like kale and can help lower cholesterol, which may reduce the risk of heart disease.

Since I had leftover pickled red onions I added those but you can leave them out or just use thinly sliced raw red onions or green onions for a milder onion taste.

If you like chicken Waldorf salad, this is a tuna version.

3 Done	Make The Yogurt Dressing In a small bowl, combine all of the yogurt dressing ingredients and mix well.
4 Done	Add the Yogurt Dressing to your Salad Add the dressing to your salad bowl and mix well. Give it a taste and adjust seasoning by adding more salt, pepper or lemon juice, if needed.
