Inspired by the Mediterranean tuna salad from Erewhon in LA, this fresh no-mayo tuna salad is bright, crunchy, protein-packed, and exactly the kind of easy lunch you’ll want on repeat all summer.

Mediterranean tuna salad made with albacore tuna, cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, celery, red onion, and fresh parsley in a white bowl.

There’s something about an Erewhon salad or smoothie that just makes you want to go home and recreate it immediately. This Mediterranean tuna salad was inspired by one I picked up there recently, and I’ve already made it more times than I can count. It’s bright, briny, crunchy, lemony, and packed with protein. 

If you love a healthy tuna salad but want something fresher than the classic mayo version, this is for you. It’s a Mediterranean tuna salad recipe made with albacore tuna, juicy cherry tomatoes, celery, red onion, Kalamata olives, parsley, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and lemon juice. No mayo, no fuss, just bold Mediterranean flavors that get even better as they sit.

I love serving it with crusty sourdough and avocado for the easiest high-protein lunch, and it’s also perfect for meal prep. You can pile it onto toast, tuck it into lettuce cups, spoon it over greens, or eat it straight from the bowl standing at the counter. I’ve done all of the above.
