So I just got back from my carb-filled, booze-fueled couples trip to Punta Cana, and I am in full detox mode. I’d seen this recipe on Pinterest a few weeks back and decided it was just the thing I needed to get back on the road to clean eating. It’s packed with leafy vegetables, fiber and iron, but the tuna salad mixed in still makes it creamy and delicious. My husband has already begged me to make another batch and my picky five-year-old told me it was the best salad she’s ever had. Score! Check it out below:

I love a good chopped salad!!! I’m going to try it with seitan and Nayonaise to make it vegan. I’ll let you know how it turns out!
Awesome! I bet that will be great. After having vegan mayo in many of the Purple Carrot meals we tried, I actually prefer it to regular mayo now.
