Made in under 5 minutes, my Simple Seafood Salad is the perfect portion for one person and has an amazing tangy, sweet, and slightly vinegary flavor without any added oils or creamy dressings. Using plain yogurt as opposed to mayo or another creamy sauce boosts the protein and makes it so most of the fat in the recipe comes from the healthy, omega-3-rich kind found in the fish you choose. My three go-tos are canned sardines, salmon, or tuna! Each of them work lovely with these flavors and ingredients. They’re also relatively cheaper than fresh fish and great to have on hand when you need a healthy meal in a hurry.

In fact, I feature it so much on my Instagram account that people have been begging me for the recipe for quite some time now. I felt bad not sharing it outright since it really is so simple, but I wanted to take the time to actually craft a proper post for it. Finally did it! My favorite way to eat this is scooped up with crunchy crackers or flatbreads. It’s also great on toast, over lettuce, or even rolled in nori! Sort of like a seafood salad sushi. :) Healthy Seafood Salad for One | This simple seafood salad is great for a healthy, high protein lunch when you're low on time and energy.

  6. First of all, I LOVE this month’s theme. It actually gives me more ideas than just the one since I end up looking through so many of my cookbooks to choose a recipe to use for the “official” post.

    Second, I love this recipe! It’s just perfect since I LOVE tuna (or any other seafood) salad and The Professor is not so gung ho about it.

  8. Augh! So sad that I couldn’t participate in the last ReDux of the year (the lack of the kitchen + all my cookbooks conveniently situated across the country made it hard :x ), but oh well, I’ll probably make up for it at a future Foodie Friday! This looks so good! :]
