Broccoli tuna salad is a fresh variation of a lunchtime favorite. It’s a simple blend of tuna, broccoli rice, mayonnaise, dijon mustard, green onions, and sunflower seeds. It’s a great way to sneak more greens into your tuna salad! The great thing about tuna salad is that it can last for 3-4 days in the fridge. Which makes it a wonderful meal prep option. Just make sure to not let it sit at room temperature for too long since it has fish and mayonnaise in it.
Ingredients2 5-ounce cans tuna, drained
1 cup broccoli rice
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 green onions, sliced
2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
1-2 tablespoons chopped parsley, chives or other herbs
salt and pepper, to taste
