Canned Tuna Salad Recipe

(mydeliciousmeals.com)
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).

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. :-)
