This fresh and colourful Tuna Salad is a nutritious, high-protein meal perfect for lunch, meal prep, or a light dinner. Made with flaky tuna, crisp bell peppers, and creamy avocado, it’s packed with vibrant vegetables and healthy fats that support energy, gut health, and weight balance.
The mix of textures and flavours is satisfying without being heavy, and the ingredients are naturally gluten-free and dairy-free, making this salad a great choice for anyone following an anti-inflammatory or allergen-friendly diet.
Unlike traditional tuna salads that rely on heavy mayonnaise, this version uses a lighter homemade Avocado Oil Mayonnaise, allowing the freshness of the vegetables and the richness of the tuna to shine. With no need to cook and minimal prep time, this dish is ideal for busy weekdays or as a nourishing evening meal. Why not have it for breakfast too.
It stores well in the fridge and can be enjoyed straight from the bowl, spooned into lettuce wraps or served in a baked sweet potato. The tuna provides a generous dose of omega-3s, which are essential for heart and brain health, while the mix of raw vegetables adds fibre, antioxidants, and crunch. This salad is a fantastic way to eat more colourful plant foods while still feeling full and satisfied. It’s also incredibly versatile; you can mixed up the herbs and vegetables with whatever you have in the fridge.
Whether you’re looking to support healthy weight loss, reduce inflammation, or just enjoy a clean, delicious meal, this tuna salad is an easy and flavour-packed choice you’ll want to make on repeat.
