A convenient, high-protein pantry staple, canned tuna can get repetitive and boring with mayonnaise as its main sidekick. Instead, try Uproot Kitchen’s tuna salad, which uses a nutty, sweet sesame-peanut dressing. To add this healthy green meal to your lunchtime rotation, simply pack the salad and dressing in separate airtight containers.
Low-Carb Tuna Salad with Dressing Ingredients Sesame Peanut Dressing Supergreen Tuna Salad Directions In a blender or food processor, combine the ingredients for salad dressing. It makes 6 ounces. In a bowl, flake the tuna, and combine it with a third of the salad dressing (1/4 cup)*. If the tuna is unsalted, add 1/4 teaspoon salt as well. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes. In a salad bowl, combine the salad greens, cabbage, cucumber, red onion, green onions and peanuts. Toss in the marinated tuna. Add the remaining dressing to taste, and divide between 2 plates. Garnish with sesame seeds. *Note: Recipe is written lightly dressed. Dressing makes enough for 2-4 additional lightly-dressed salads.
