Instructions
- Bake sweet potato – Make sure you bake your sweet potato first (or ahead of time) so it's cool enough to handle and chop into chunks.
- Drain tuna – Drain tuna and place in a small bowl. Use a fork to break the chunks into small pieces.
- Mix remaining ingredients – Add sweet potato chunks, tomatoes, celery and scallion and mix together. Add the hummus and mustard, to moisten the tuna to your preference. I used about 2.5 Tablespoons of hummus.
- Season – Sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Serve – I enjoyed the tuna salad on top of a salad with romaine lettuce, cucumbers and mushrooms but you could easily place it between two slices of whole grain bread (like Ezekiel bread) to make a healthy tuna sandwich.
Notes
- Bake your sweet potato in advance: Don't forget to bake your sweet potato ahead of time so it's cool enough to handle and chop for the salad.
