Mediterranean Tuna Salad

Looking for a quick, easy, and healthy meal? This Mediterranean Tuna Salad recipe is perfect for lunch, dinner, or to meal prep.

This tuna quinoa salad is full of protein, fiber, healthy fats, and nutrients from fresh vegetables.

What do you need to make this Mediterranean Tuna Salad?

• 3 cans of tuna (I used the brand Safe Catch)
• 1 cup raw quinoa
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 Persian cucumber
• ½ cup Kalamata olives
• ½ cup pepperoncini
• Sun dried tomatoes
• Red Wine Vinegar dressing

Optional additions:

• artichoke hearts
• feta cheese crumbles
• fresh spinach or spring mix
• chopped red onion

Meal Prep Tip:

If you have a rice cooker, use this to make the quinoa! It is so fast and convenient. You could also use the instant pot or make it on the stove top.

Why Safe Catch Tuna?

I love this brand because the tuna is:

• sustainably caught
• the lowest mercury content of any other brand
• hand cut tuna steaks with no additives
• a great source of lean protein and omega-3 fatty acids

 

How to make:

1. Cook the quinoa according to instructions (or by using the rice cooker!)
2. Chop the cucumbers and red onion if using
3. Mix together dressing (if making dressing from scratch follow my Red Wine Vinegar Dressing Recipe)
4. Add all ingredients to a bowl, stir thoroughly and serve

This tuna salad should last about 4 days in the fridge.

If you are using it as meal prep and adding in spring mix or spinach add those right before serving so they don't get soggy.
