Best Low-Carb Mediterranean Tuna Salad

This healthy tuna salad is a beautiful addition to your Low-Carb Mediterranean recipes. Tuna steaks are seasoned with traditional Mediterranean garlic and rosemary mixture and baked until perfectly tender and flaky. We added plenty of fresh veggies to complete the rich flavor of this low-carb Mediterranean salad and served everything with our favorite Dijon and parsley dressing. You can adjust the amount of herbs according to your taste or add some extra olive oil before serving. This salad is best when served immediately while still fresh, but you can store the leftovers for a few days. Garnish the prepared salad with fresh Mediterranean herbs and some wedges. Enjoy!

How do you customize this recipe?

This colorful salad can be easily customized by adding some other fresh or roasted veggies, olives, or your favorite cheese. You can prepare your favorite low-carb dressing or season everything with salt and olive oil. This salad would also be perfect with canned tuna or some baked salmon.

How do you store the leftovers?

Store the leftovers in air-tight containers and refrigerate for a few days. To keep the ingredients fresh, store the dressing in a separate container.
