Ingredients
- 2 cans 5 ounces each, water packed tuna fish
- 1/2 cup avocado oil mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup green onions thinly sliced
- 1 cup finely diced celery 2-3 stalks
- 1/2 cup fruit juice sweetened dried cranberries roughly chopped
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
To assemble:
- 8 cups baby spinach 8 ounces
- 1 lemon cut into 4 wedges
Optional:
- 2 apples 1/2 apple per serving
Instructions
- Drain the tuna fish and place it in a medium sized mixing bowl. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, green onions, celery, cranberries, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix to combine, then set aside.
- In 4 containers evenly portion out the spinach. Then portion out the tuna salad evenly, about 3/4 cup per container.
- Keep the tuna salad from touching the greens so they don't get soggy. Finally add 1 lemon wedge per container, then seal and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
- Add the chopped apple when you're ready to eat the tuna salad to prevent the apple from being too brown.

Notes
You can also use Greek yogurt in this recipe in place of the mayonnaise. Or try a 50/50 mix of Greek yogurt and mayonnaise which is really tasty.
