We’re nearing the end of summer, which means now is prime time to enjoy bold, bright produce. This Seasonal Garden Salad with Tuna celebrates those flavors: crisp radishes, crunchy cucumber, sweet bell peppers, juicy tomatoes, tangy red onion, and nourishing leafy greens, all topped with hearty, flaky tuna packed simply in sea salt and water. The dressing is an easy lemon-based vinaigrette that complements the vegetables without weighing them down.
How to make this Seasonal Garden Salad with Tuna.
Many vegetable-forward salads rely on heavy dressings or cheese to boost flavor, but this salad proves you don’t need those crutches. Fresh ingredients and a simple vinaigrette make it delicious, invigorating, and nourishing.
Ingredients
- Chicken of the Sea Wild Catch™ Premium Albacore Tuna

- Radishes, thinly sliced
- Sweet bell pepper (red, orange, or yellow), sliced
- Grape or cherry tomatoes, halved

Simple lemon vinaigrette: olive oil, fresh lemon juice, a splash of apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. That’s all you need to brighten the salad and let each vegetable shine.
Make tuna your go-to salad protein.

The premium albacore provides a substantial protein boost—making the salad filling without feeling heavy. It also adds beneficial omega-3 fatty acids.
Wild Catch is a line of wild-caught seafood packed in a clean blend of water and sea salt. Options include Alaskan salmon, albacore tuna, and ahi yellowfin tuna.
