Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 5-ounce cans canned tuna (in water)
- 1 medium apple
- 1 cup grapes (seedless, green or red)
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
- 1 large celery stalk
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups mixed greens (optional)
Instructions
Drain the canned tuna and flake it into small pieces using a fork. Set aside.
Core and dice the apple into small bite-sized pieces. If desired, leave the skin on for added texture and color.
Slice the grapes in half lengthwise. If the grapes are particularly small, you can leave them whole.
Dice the celery stalk into small pieces for added crunch.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the tuna, apple, grapes, pineapple chunks, and celery.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the tuna and fruit mixture. Gently toss everything together until evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Serve the tuna fruit salad as is, or over a bed of mixed greens if desired. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
