Paleo Mediterranean Tuna Salad With Olives
Description
Paleo Mediterranean Tuna Salad With Olives mixes canned tuna packed in water with roasted red bell peppers, diced sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil, and sliced kalamata olives. The addition of lemon zest, juice, and dried herbs like parsley, oregano, and basil brings Mediterranean essence. A teaspoon of paleo-style mayonnaise gives creaminess and helps bind the ingredients together.
Toasting the pine nuts until golden adds a crunchy texture and a subtle nuttiness that complements the savory flavors. The salad is assembled by combining all ingredients and folding in the toasted pine nuts last to preserve their crunch. Serving on crisp lettuce leaves provides freshness and a wrap-like presentation.
