This Paleo Smoked Tuna Salad is so easy, packed with flavor, and makes the perfect quick lunch. Whole30, gluten free, dairy free, and so delicious!
This salad is perfect for someone who may not love traditional tuna salad or just maybe wants to try something new. The flavors are amazing and it's a nice change from the classic pickle/dill version.
Smoked salt is easy to find- it's right by the regular salt. Here is a post with a picture of it.
Opening a can of tuna for a quick meal is sometimes necessary and I'm so happy that I came up with this unique combo.
I personally have always loved tuna salad so of course I think this is good! The crunch of the shallots, freshness of the lemon, and smokiness of the salt- it is the perfect blend of flavors.
It is especially delicious served with some chips! These are a rosemary flavor fried in olive oil, the flavor my husband prefers- coconut oil are my favorite. Of course the chips aren't Whole30. You can use celery, carrots, or zucchini to scoop it up with, or just eat it straight from the bowl.
This is so perfect on those warm days when you don't want to cook! You will love how fast, easy, healthy and tasty this tuna salad is!
Here is the link to the homemade mayo I use in it- it's super easy!
