Gretchen came across this clean tuna salad recipe on one of her favorite sites, Jennifer Fisher. Jennifer is not a chef, but a busy (and very successful) working Mom. Somehow, she still works to prioritize making healthy food for herself and her family. Gretchen made this recently and served it in lettuce cups - it was gone in minutes. It is a different take on a traditional tuna salad - full of protein and fiber and has a kick to it that's just so yummy. It's also great on top our favorite cracker Ella's Flats. Enjoy!
