This colorful & flavorful salad combines two of the all-time-favorite salads. A potato salad and a tuna salad!
This Mediterranean flavored Potato Tuna Salad is mayo-free. Made with boiled potatoes & carrots, tuna, sweet corn, olive slices, tomatoes, onions, and parsley. All mixed with a light and appetizing mustard dressing.
I love salads like this, that can stay in the fridge overnight. And instead of getting spoiled or soggy, get even stronger in flavor.
I mean what could be more convenient than this salad to make for a dinner party or bbq? Without having to prepare it at the last minute. This salad simply stays in the fridge, waiting for the right moment to come out and amaze everyone!
It's also great to prepare the night before and serve as a cold lunch the next day.
Olive Oil Instead Of Mayo
A tuna salad is a great way to include some O-mega 3 fatty acids to your diet (the best way would be fresh sardines). So when you have a meal that's rich in healthy fats why top it up with unhealthy mayonnaise fat?
That's why it's made with a mustard-olive oil dressing instead of mayonnaise. This dressing makes the salad lighter and more appetizing. Leaving your stomach fulfilled but not stuffed.
To make it you simply whisk together 2 tablespoons of mild mustard with 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar. Then gradually add 8 tablespoons of olive oil while whisking constantly.
How To Make Potato Tuna Salad
