I hope you enjoy this tasty tuna salad recipe. I love that this tuna salad has no mayo and it is light and refreshing for the spring and summer. You can do the grilled veggies in a grill pan or even roast them in the oven if you prefer. This is a easy, low carb tuna salad recipe is full of protein and veggies and I think you will enjoy having this healthy and yummy meal up your sleeve.
