My take on a quick and healthy alternative to my diet to kick up tuna fish a notch for only 165 calories for the whole recipe! Perfect for taking to work for lunch.

1

Drain water from tuna and add to a medium sized bowl.
2

Add chopped cucumber, tomatoes, cilantro, and seasonings. Mix to combine well.

Squeeze lime juice from entire lime over the tuna salad. Mix well and refrigerate for 30 minutes. This allows the salad to soak up the lime juice for more flavor and its best served cold. Enjoy!

Skip the mayonnaise. A healthy tuna salad can be just the opposite laden with mayonnaise. My recipe calls for protein packed greek yogurt with the flavor of a good for you fat from the avocado. Lighter but packed with a delightful blend of flavors. I love Wasa multi grain crackers and their light rye crackers to serve this on. A bed of lettuce would be excellent too.

I usually have tuna salad ready for my week for a quick snack on crackers or a sandwich for lunch. But I was getting a little tired of the same old tuna salad with mayo, etc. I thought, I make a really good Asian Cucumber Salad...what if I combined the two!?! So, after adjusting everything to include the tuna and not overpower that flavor, I think this works really nicely and is a refreshing change of pace.

Looking for a substitute for mayo I added avocado instead, works well in a tuna melt or over toast with a poached egg and some salsa.

I was not a big Tuna fan as a child but Grama always made it with chopped celery and onion and I seemed to then, and still do now, enjoy the Crunchy Distraction! This is My Own Twist on It! #tunafish #tuna #tunasandwich #toastedtuna #tunafishsandwich #toastedtunafishsandwich
