There’s nothing to weigh or measure. You can easily fit a healthy Mediterranean tuna salad into your 2B Mindset meal plan by Beachbody and stay on track with your diet without compromising flavor.

Starting with a lean protein like tuna will keep you feeling full longer. Be sure the tuna you use is packed in water, not oil. You will add the fat you choose in your homemade dressing and with the olives.

Remember, like with any recipe, that you can alter the ingredients, for example, how much oil to use. As long as you track your fat and other “accessories” in 2B Mindset, you are prepared!

The next step to a delicious Mediterranean tuna salad meal is the veggies. Cucumbers, peppers, and red onions give this salad a ton of flavor. Add more if you prefer.

A little Italian parsley is a freebie and will bring out the fresh taste in all of the ingredients. Serve your tuna salad over a bed of greens for even more of a “veggies most” boost.

If you are having this dish as a lunch or snack, you can even consider adding a fiber-filled carbohydrate like garbanzo beans or having your salad with some whole-grain crackers or a slice of pita bread.
