Hi Friends!

Curry powder is one of my favorite spices and I especially love it in tuna and chicken salad. Instead of mayo, I like to use smashed avocado and hummus for a bit of healthier fat without sacrificing the classic, creamy texture. To make things even more fun and add a bit of sweetness and crunch, I added apples!

  10. I love these kind of salads! I don’t eat a ton of tuna due to the mercury content – since you’re an RD, I’m interested in opinion on this. Do we need to worry about the mercury in tuna? I had heard that for children and smaller women especially it is an issue, so I have been very cautious.

  14. Sounds so delicious– I love the sweet and savory combo and the crunch and freshness of the cucumber would make this a perfect bite– I don’t love tuna, but I’m going to try it with shredded chicken.
