Carla's Healthy Carrot & Tuna Salad

"This is something I've been making for years but never thought to post. Tuna salad complete with shredded carrots, red onion, crunchy celery, sun-dried tomatoes and Parmesan cheese - enough to satisfy the even the healthiest of appetites. It is great for salads and sandwiches - I like it especially for dinner topped on a large bed of salad greens to make a filling - high protein meal."

  1. This was so good! I served it over salad greens and it's a WW 6 point meal. I threw in some craisins and used oven-dried tomatoes from Mirj and I really enjoyed a light, refreshing and different tuna salad. Thanks, Carole in Orlando
     
  2. I thought this was delicious! I really love that it's packed with veggies. I made a couple changes, one being I replaced half the mayo with plain yogurt and instead of parmesan I used feta. I know that last change is significant, but it was still delicious. I will try it again with parmesan and I'm confident it will be at least equally delicious. Thanks!
     
  3. This was great. I thought the parmesan cheese was an odd ingredient but it gave the salad a nice zing. I just ate it with some fresh Italian bread and there is a ton left over in the fridge.
     
  4. Great recipe! What a wonderful and unusual combination of flavors. Lots of veggies and the parmesan gives it almost a ranch flavor. I had some over baby spinach and some with crackers. Will definitely make this again! Thanks for sharing your recipe!
     
  5. The best of the tuna salads we have tried, very tasty with a nice combination of veggies,especially the sun dried tomato and cheese. we will be making it again, it was delicious as a sandwich for lunch today, thanks for sharing a real keeper!
