If you are looking for a new take on the classic tuna salad, this recipe is for you! Bursting with flavor from garlic, Italian seasoning and fresh basil, this cool, refreshing dish will leave you wanting more! This recipe can be easily adjusted to meet your macros. You can lay it on a bed of fresh veggies, use it as a topping on rice cakes, wrap it in a low-calorie wrap, or place it on some bread for a tuna salad sandwich. Either way, you can’t go wrong!
