Tuna and Couscous Salad - No Mayo

TUNA AND COUSCOUS SALAD WITH A LITTLE SPICY DRESSING THAT DEFINITELY ADDS NATURAL FLAVOR AND FRAGRANCE.

This creamy no mayo dressing is a wonderfully healthy salad bowl or side dish with a salad dressing that's tangy and slightly creamy. Absolutely delicious Tuna and Couscous Salad where the dressing balances out all the other ingredients.

I am hopeful that you will love this tuna and couscous salad as much as we do! It has all the food groups that you will need for a well balanced lunch without making too many dirty dishes and without getting the oven on! Are you with me on this? I LOVE oven roasting from veggies and meat dishes to casseroles but my goodness it's a relief on some days to make something as wholesome without switching on the stove.

Eating healthy is key we all know this but I know that we don't always practice it so having lunch done without any hassle means that my blood sugar levels are not dipping and the sides for dinner tonight are done and dusted!

HOW TO MAKE TUNA AND COUSCOUS SALAD

• Tuna - It goes without saying that the chunkier the tuna pieces the better and this one I used despite the brand was a let down, but not saying which brand. Next time I will go with someone else because you really do need a nice chunkier tuna since it's the only protein in the salad.
• Cooked Couscous (you can even buy them in a box and each packet weighs 100 grams each (before cooking) and al you do is dip the entire bag into about a cup of boiling water. So just cover the bag in water and let it sit for 1 minute. Take it out with a fork so you don't burn yourself or a pair of tongs. Set it aside to cool while you prep the rest of the ingredients. Fluff it up with a fork and use it how you like.

If you can't find the packet sized ones it's not problem I use both depending on time. Simply pour the couscous into a bowl, cover with boing water, use cling wrap or a plate to cover it and the method. Let it sit and then fluff it up.

TUNA AND COUSCOUS SALAD

Tuna automatically goes with mayo don't ask me why it just does but I left it out of this recipe because change is good. Creating a good recipe really does depend on what your priorities and focus is rather than what's trending. The nutritional value is as important to recipe creators and home cooks as much as what the family enjoys.

The best part if you are like me and love couscous and quinoa you can make a bit more and keep it in the fridge for tomorrow's quick lunch or dinner. There's also this absolutely fabulous Quinoa and Chickpea Salad that has been a popular recipe so I hope that you will love it too. And if you do get to try it don't forget to send me love via social media.
