Mediterranean Tuna Salad - Healthy, No Mayo

This Mediterranean Tuna Salad is light, fresh, and very healthy. It is made without any mayo, just a quick lemon, vinegar, and olive oil dressing.

If you are looking to skip the mayo and add some healthy fats instead, then this is your salad! It's seriously very appetizing and takes no time to make.

Well, apart from the marinating time which takes about 1 hour. Even though you can totally skip this, I do advise that you should let marinade as it really enhances the flavors.

The Ingredients

So what are the flavors inside this salad? All Greek, and Mediterranean flavors. Like olives (slices), capers, and oregano, together with extra virgin olive oil, and red wine vinegar. And all these are served over crunchy shredded lettuce and thinly sliced tomatoes.

The presentation of this salad is as you mostly find it served in a Greek Taverna (a type of traditional Greek restaurant).

This Mediterranean tuna salad you can keep it in the fridge for 2-3 days. Keep in mind that the longer it sits the stronger the flavors will get. And that includes the onion as well. Which I personally love, but I get that some people don't.

Serving Suggestions

This salad is so great because the tuna doesn't get mixed with the veggies. This means you get a really basic tuna salad that you can use in numerous other ways. Such as to add inside a sandwich or wrap. Or you can also use it to stuff a jacket potato. Or even mix with some penne, fusilli, or bow pasta and make cold pasta salad.
