Curry Tuna Salad


Further to my Cherry and Rice Walnut Salad and my Brussels Sprouts Waldorf Salad, I'm continuing the theme of fruit and nuts in salad to give natural sweetness and a good source of healthy fats. The version below combines curried tuna with grapes and a small handful of nuts - almonds, cashews or walnuts - together with fresh and nutritious green veg like celery, peppers and kale or spinach.

The curry tuna and veg can easily be prepared ahead and stored in an airtight container. If I'm on the go and need a snack of lunch, I can eat it straight from the box. Without the kale or spinach, it can also be served in a wrap or sandwich. As the tuna mix doesn't contain any mayo, it's a healthier, egg-free version to the traditional tuna may or tuna salad sandwich!
