Happy Friday! 

This was one of those weeks that felt slow at first and then it was over. You  know when Tuesday feels like Thursday, but then you blink and it’s Friday, I love that!

Today I am sharing an easy recipe that does not require turning on your oven! Something I’m sure a lot of you on the East Coast are looking for as we continue to ride out this heat wave! 

This Curry Tuna Salad is made with albacore tuna, chick peas, cherry tomatoes, dried cranberries and green onions mixed up with a curry mayo!

When Walter and I did the Whole30 back in March one of our go-to lunches was tuna salad. As long as you use homemade mayo, tuna salad is a really easy Whole30 meal. Even after the Whole30 I continued making tuna regularly because it is such an easy staple to keep on hand and throw together for a quick lunch. 

My go-to tuna recipe usually includes tomatoes, pickles, onions and sometimes celery and black olives.  A few weeks ago I was getting pretty board of that combo and really wanted to spice things up so I went a different direction with this Curry Tuna Salad. 

I just love the colors of this dish, it’s always more fun to eat something pretty and it tastes pretty delicious too 🙂 The curry gives this dish an Indian flare so it pairs nicely with naan, either eaten pilled on top like an open faced sandwich or using smaller pieces for dipping. 

This recipe is not Whole30 Compliant due to the chick peas, dried cranberries and store bought mayo. However. in the notes I have provided the steps for making your own mayo and substitutions for the dried cranberries and chick peas 🙂
