Fresh Tuna, Avo and Egg Salad with Lemon Feta Dressing

10 Feb Fresh Tuna, Avo and Egg Salad with Lemon Feta Dressing

This recipe was forged out of the disappointment of soggy, distasteful and complex tuna salad recipes and concoctions.

In my hunt for recipes that are optimal for dental health I happened across the idea of a tuna salad. However, ways to make a tuna salad appetising are not so clear.

This salad recipe is creamy, but not ‘gluggy’, and it packs two serves of vegetables (including crunchy veggies) and three sources of protein – perfect for a dental supporting meal.
