Broccoli Tuna Salad
Description
This Broccoli Tuna Salad uses broccoli processed into a rice-like texture to blend easily with tuna and creamy mayonnaise, binding the ingredients together without overwhelming them. Dijon mustard adds a mild tang that balances the richness of the mayonnaise, while sunflower seeds provide occasional crunchy bursts. Fresh herbs including parsley, chives, and green onions bring brightness and layered herbal flavors to the dish.
The salad is versatile and can be enjoyed by itself for a light protein-rich meal, spread in sandwiches for added moisture and flavor, or wrapped in lettuce as a low-carb option. Seasoning with salt and black pepper allows for personal adjustment to taste.
