Sweet Potato Tuna Salad (No Mayo)

SERVES 2

Ingredients  

• 1 large or medium can unsalted tuna, packed in water

• ½ cup baked sweet potato, cooled and chopped into chunks

• ¼ cup chopped cherry or grape tomatoes

• ¼ cup chopped celery

• 1 finely chopped spring onion, green part only

• 2-3 Tablespoons hummus, I used garlic

• 1 Tablespoon dijon mustard

• sea salt and ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions 

• Bake sweet potato – Make sure you bake your sweet potato first (or ahead of time) so it's cool enough to handle and chop into chunks.

• Drain tuna – Drain tuna and place in a small bowl. Use a fork to break the chunks into small pieces.

• Mix remaining ingredients – Add sweet potato chunks, tomatoes, celery and onion and mix together. Add the hummus and mustard, to moisten the tuna to your preference. I used about 2.5 Tablespoons of hummus.

• Season – Sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground pepper.

• Serve – I enjoyed the tuna salad on top of a salad with romaine lettuce, cucumbers and mushrooms
