If you already love my simple tuna sauerkraut sandwich, this is the salad version (and it's every bit as easy to make!) This recipe makes two servings from one can of tuna. Enjoy one for lunch today and refrigerate the second for an easy grab-and-go lunch tomorrow.
If you happen to have some extra sauerkraut on hand, this simple salad is a great use for it. The tuna and sauerkraut combo may sound a bit odd, but trust me when I say that it's actually delicious. Refreshingly so. And this dish is so easy that you'll likely find yourself throwing it together without even needing the recipe anymore.
🌿 Ingredients
You'll only need a handful of ingredients for this salad: a little onion and celery, a can of tuna, and some mayo for the tuna salad, plus any kind of salad greens and sauerkraut. I like using raw sauerkraut for its fresh flavor and crunch (found in the produce section.) If you'd like to make your own, try my homemade sauerkraut.
See recipe card below for exact quantities.
📝 Instructions
The key to this recipe is to make the tuna salad first, and you could even do that several days in advance if you'd like to meal prep a bit. Then, when it's lunchtime, simply assemble your salad bowl with some greens, half the tuna mixture and a scoop of sauerkraut. And, you're done!
🥧 Serving suggestions
While this salad could definitely be a light lunch on it's own, it's even more amazing alongside some crusty bread or a cup of soup. One of my favorite combos is a pairing of this salad with this carrot ginger soup. So good. 🙂
