If you’re short on time and fancy ingredients, but searching for fast, easy ways to amplify your health — this healthy tuna salad recipe and video are for you! Traditionally tuna salad is not your skinniest option at the deli. When it’s fully loaded with mayonnaise it can come close to 400 calories per cup with 23g of fat. And that’s before you add it to the rest of your sandwich or salad. But, as with anything, you can easily skinny it up, amplify the nutrition and enjoy this tasty, flavorful version of a familiar favorite. And like most recipes on my blog, this is definitely featured in my Color Yourself Skinny 21-Day Diet Detox program as a Green Lunch.
