Recipe Notes

Tuna salad is one of the easiest ways to get points on your Med Diet score. Always at the ready and waiting there in the cupboard for you to make something delicious.

There are hundreds of ways to make tuna salad and this curried version is great. The mashed avocado adds a terrific creaminess to the salad with a ton of Omega-3 fats and fiber. That combined with the curry and cinnamon makes a super rich and creamy salad that is perfectly complemented by the crunch of almonds, celery and peppers.

"Just because I am a chef doesn't mean I don't rely on fast recipes. Indeed, we all have moments when, pressed for time, we'll use a can of tuna and a tomato for a first course. It's a question of choosing the right recipes for the rest of the menu."
