Tuna Salad without Mayo
Italian-inspired tuna salad. Made healthy using olive oil and vinegar, and added protein with cannellini beans. I hope you love it as much as I do.
This no-mayo tuna salad is light, fresh, and delicious. This tuna salad was inspired by one I had in Italy. I use vinegar and olive oil dressing that is oh-so flavorful.
