Wheat Free Tuna Salad with Apples and Dill
Bright, crisp, and packed with fresh flavor, this tuna salad takes a refreshing detour from the usual mayo-heavy versions. Diced apple adds a juicy sweetness that plays beautifully against the briny tuna, while fresh dill and scallion greens keep every bite lively and aromatic. The dressing is a simple whisk of olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, and a hint of ground ginger — no thickeners, no fillers, just clean ingredients that come together fast. For anyone navigating wheat sensitivities, store-bought tuna salads and deli counters can be a minefield of hidden additives, but every single component here is naturally grain-free and easy to verify. Celery brings a satisfying crunch that makes the whole bowl feel substantial without any bread-based filler. Serve it scooped over greens, stuffed into lettuce cups, or eaten straight from the bowl — it holds up well in the fridge, making it a smart option for meal prep too.
