Wild Tuna, Orange and Parsley Salad: Paleo Lunches and Breakfasts on the Go

I originally saw this recipe in Bon Appétit magazine many years ago, and have made my own little tweaks over the years. This colorful and sophisticated salad raises canned tuna to another level. I could eat it daily and feel so great after having it for lunch. The wonderful thing about parsley is that it won’t wilt after putting dressing on it. Parsley is also a great source of vitamin K, and the orange and red peppers are packed with vitamin C. This dish stays crunchy and delivers sweet and slightly salty flavors from the oranges and capers. It may seem funny to combine oranges and tuna, but once you try this, I guarantee you’ll want to make it again. This recipe is from my book, Paleo Lunches and Breakfasts on the Go.

  • 4 TBS capers, rinsed

  1. My favorite lunch is leftovers. I can’t wait to try this recipe though! I’ve been craving tuna. Maybe I can get by the store tonight so I can have a treat for lunch tomorrow!

  2. Although it’s not “to go” …my favorite quick Paleo lunch is a sweet potato, steamed in the microwave…little grass-fed butter, salt and pepper and garlic powder and yum.

  3. Usually my lunches consist of leftovers from the dinner the night before. But my favorite lunch would be chili or tuna salad.
