Italian Tuna Salad

A good chopped salad uses a lot of flavorful ingredients and mixes them well, so that you have a little of everything in each bite. This Italian tuna salad recipe does that well, and combines heart healthy tuna with crunchy Romaine, artichokes, and other flavorful ingredients. A quick lemon dressing brings it all together nicely. For more Paleo salad and salad dressing recipes, visit our PaleoPlan recipe center!
