Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (5 oz each) canned tuna, packed in water
- 1 celery stalk
- 0.25 medium red onion
- 0.25 cup Whole30 compliant mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups baby spinach leaves
Instructions
Open the cans of tuna and drain any excess water. Transfer the tuna into a medium mixing bowl.
Finely chop the celery stalk and the quarter of a red onion, and add them to the bowl with the tuna.
Add the Whole30 compliant mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice to the bowl.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and add it to the tuna mixture.
Sprinkle salt and pepper over the mixture.
Gently mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as the tuna chunks should remain somewhat intact.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
To serve, place a portion of the tuna salad over a bed of baby spinach leaves.
Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
