The Healthiest Tuna Salad Ever - 21 Ingredients

Omg! I figured out a way that I can eat sauerkraut. And it’s actually delicious! I’ve been reading about how healthy fermented foods are for you. 

And the number one recommendation is always sauerkraut, then yogurt, etc. but I’m trying to avoid dairy and I can hardly even stand the smell of sauerkraut, never mind eat it. 

So I started googling ways to eat sauerkraut. Of course, hot dogs and sausages are at the top of the list. However, towards the bottom was tuna salad. 

I thought, what? the? heck? That was hard for me to imagine but then I decided to let my creativity flow. And to my incredible surprise, this tuna salad is very delicious.

I started gathering all my usual spices and my usual healthy ingredients that I normally added to my smoothie and then I tried to think of what else might be good in it. 

Here’s the ingredient list:

White tuna

Pink salt/black pepper 

Sage

Garlic powder 

Parsley flakes 

Turmeric 

Chili powder 

Ground ginger 

Chopped onions 

Chopped celery 

Crushed walnuts 

Rotel mild

Barberries

Chia seeds

Flax seeds 

Whole avocado 

Sauerkraut 

Avocado oil mayonnaise 

Lemon juice 

Is that everything? I think so. I guess that’s 20 ingredients. And the cool part is that I can’t really even taste the sauerkraut because there are so many other flavors. 

At this point, most everything was in the bowl except the whole avocado and the mayonnaise. I chose this avocado oil mayonnaise because I’m avoiding soybean oil. 

I chopped up the whole avocado into the bowl and added the mayonnaise and mixed these ingredients very well. It is beginning to smell really good with all those spices. 

This tuna salad is perfection to me. Just the right combination of crunchy from the walnuts and celery and a little sweet from the barberries and tomatoes. The avocado and mayonnaise made this salad so creamy and easy to eat. 

I’m avoiding bread, so I ate it as a meal. But you could eat it either way and it would be wonderful. Enjoy!
