If you\u2019re on a weight loss journey, this Healthy Tuna Salad Recipe was created for healthy eating.<\/p>\n

With the exception of an avocado, all of the ingredients for this salad are either canned, jarred or have a refrigeration shelf life of at least a week.<\/p>\n

This fresh spring salad is packed with nutrition and flavor, featuring low-fat proteins like canned albacore tuna and chickpeas, healthy fats like Kalamata olives and avocado, and a medley of fresh veggies, including bell pepper, cucumber and red onion.<\/p>\n

This Tuna Salad features a variety of colorful ingredients, including Kalamata olives, red onion, avocado, albacore tuna, cucumber, bell pepper and chickpeas, surrounded by fresh parsley leaves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A chopped salad is simply a salad in which all of the ingredients are chopped, even the greens, if included.<\/p>\n

Italian flat-leaf parsley is the only green leaf in this dish, and instead of chopping it into fine pieces,<\/p>\n

I remove the leaves from the stems and loosely tear them into large pieces so that its fresh flavor really comes through in the salad.<\/p>\n

\n
While often overlooked in favor of more robust herbs, parsley is actually a staple in Mediterranean cooking.<\/span><\/section>\n
<\/section>\n
Its wonderful neutral quality not only brings freshness to any dish, but also serves to elevate the other flavors. <\/span><\/section>\n

Italian parsley is a staple in our household and will keep well in the crisper drawer of our refrigerator for at least a week, often even longer.<\/span><\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Chopped salads are a great way to ensure that each ingredient is included on every forkful.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

When chopping the salad ingredients, I cut the bell pepper, red onion and Kalamata olives around the same size as the chickpeas, while cutting the cucumber and avocado just a bit bigger.<\/p>\n

With its large chunks and mild flavor, albacore tuna is perfect for a chopped salad and requires no chopping at all.<\/p>\n

This salad is best enjoyed cold, so I\u2019ll toss everything together and refrigerate it for at least one hour, reserving one-quarter of the dressing to moisten up the salad just before serving.<\/p>\n

The mild flavor and firm chunks of solid white albacore tuna make this the perfect fish for a chopped salad.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Quick and easy Simple Vinaigrette is one of my favorite go-to dressings and the perfect fit for the robust flavors in this salad.<\/p>\n

The liquid base is extra-virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar and fresh lemon juice, whisked together with a touch of Dijon mustard and minced garlic for a zesty, flavorful dressing that can be used on nearly any salad.<\/p>\n

The dressing can be made in advance and refrigerated for up to one week.<\/p>\n

Filled with flavor and nutrition, and needing only about 15 minutes of prep time, this simple Tuna Salad is a winner on every level. It\u2019s perfect all on its own, but is also great over toast or greens, or as filling in a pita or sandwich.<\/p>\n
