Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

For the Salad:

  • 2 cans tuna or salmon drained
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes finely chopped
  • 1 cup celery finely chopped
  • 1 cup red onion finely chopped
  • 1 cup hummus
  • 1 to 2 Tbsp stone ground mustard
  • 2 Tbsp fresh dill chopped
  • sea salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

Method:

  • Begin by draining the tuna or salmon and placing it in a large mixing bowl. Take your time to break it up with a fork, ensuring there are no large chunks.
  • Finely chop the sun-dried tomatoes, celery, and red onion. Aim for uniform pieces so they mix well into the salad.
  • To the bowl with the tuna, add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, celery, and red onion. Stir gently until everything is evenly distributed.
  • Spoon in the hummus and add 1 tablespoon of the stone ground mustard. Mix well, ensuring the tuna and veggies are fully coated. Taste and adjust the mustard according to your preference.
  • Fold in the fresh dill and season with sea salt and black pepper to taste. Give it one last gentle mix.
  • You can enjoy this salad immediately, or if you prefer, refrigerate it for a while to let the flavors meld together. Serve it over a bed of greens, in a wrap, or simply enjoy it on its own.
