Canned Tuna Salad Recipe
This canned tuna salad recipe is Paleo friendly and Whole30 approved. I first saw it in the Well Fed 2: More Paleo Recipes for People Who Love to Eat. Green onions, pickles and parsley give canned tuna a wonderful flavor. Serve wrapped in lettuce leaves or spoon in cucumber or bell pepper boats. This is the link for Chosen Foods Mayo (Paleo and Whole30 approved).

  • 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice

This looks PERFECT! Dill pickles are a must... none of that sweet jaz for me. Fresh dill is lovely too. I like how you used both purple and green onions... nice touch! Thank you for sharing your recipe. :-)
