Healthy Mediterranean Tuna Salad Recipe: This Tangy Tuna Salad Is Deliciously Dairy Free

My Tia Margarita (Aunt Margie, in English) was the first person to introduce me to tuna salad. While staying with her in Brooklyn, N.Y., as a child, she gave me a “splurge” meal that she made clear was only for special occasions: a decadent tuna salad sandwich. One bite of the flaky fish and crunchy celery bits all bathed in mayo, and I was hooked.

These days, I try to stick to an anti-inflammatory Mediterranean diet. Part of that means little-to-no dairy. So I came up with a Mediterranean tuna salad recipe that the hubs and I are becoming addicted to. It’s so easy, so lemony and so good, and ready in only about five minutes.
