Light Salmon & Tuna Salad Recipe With Vegetables Let's Two Healthy Fish Shine Salads Low Sodium Recipes Seafood Lunch

Here’s another attempt to dilute (sodium-wise) a few ingredients with lots of fresh vegetables. Nothing in this light and tasty salmon and tuna salad recipe is too sodium-laden, but I figure I may as well lower the content any time I can.

Similar to the garden fresh low-sodium chicken salad with vegetables (though with a different protein and sauce), the beauty of this salad is that pretty much any vegetables you have and enjoy are fair game. I started with a couple of packages of fish – one salmon, one tuna – and added in a chopped egg, carrots, celery, red onion, broccoli, sweet mini peppers and fresh-cut corn. I tossed it with a mixture of mayonnaise mustard and pesto sauce. Spoon this light and tasty salad on a bed of fresh spinach, and you’re good to go!

Serve this creamy tuna and salmon salad recipe for lunch or dinner with some hot, crusty bread.
