  • 1 teaspoon dried dill weed
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 tsp of yellow mustard
  • 1/2 cup diced cucumbers
  • 1/4 cup diced red or yellow onions
  • 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon paleo mayonnaise*
  • Salt to taste
  • Lettuce and/or sweet potatoes for a salad/sandwich

  2. chop onions and cucumbers and add to the bowl.
  3. Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl and stir until everything is well mixed together.
  4. Take a taste and add salt as needed.
  5. Add to chopped romaine lettuce or sweet potato toast**

Notes

*Primal Kitchen makes a great paleo mayo, but you can also make your own.

**For sweet potato toast, wash and cut a sweet potato lengthwise about 1/4″ thick. Place on parchment paper and bake on 400 degrees for 15-18 minutes.

Since everyone enjoys their tuna salad differently, nutrition facts are just for the tuna salad mix and don’t include sweet potato.
