Prepare Dressing
First put the white wine vinegar and the lemon juice in a large bowl.
Then add salt, pepper, honey, mustard and chilli.
For a good vinaigrette, always mix vinegar and spices first, so that a creamy dressing is formed when the oil is added.
Add oil
Open the tuna can and stir the oil into the salad dressing.
Leave the tuna in the tin until serving.
Add olive oil to the salad dressing to taste.
Prepare spinach
Clean the spinach and remove the coarse stalks.
Wash the spinach twice in plenty of cold water and spin dry.
Prepare vegetables
Cut radishes into Julienne shapes, celery into thin, elongated slices, the apple into thin slices and put all the ingredients for the prepared salad dressing in the bowl.
Fry vegetables
Cut the zucchini and fennel into thin slices and fry them in a pan with the olive oil at high heat.
Season the vegetables with salt and pepper.
Marinade salad
Marinate spinach, apple slices, celery slices and radishes with the salad dressing.
Serve
Arrange the salad quickly, add the zucchini and fennel slices, add the tuna and serve decorated with cress and almonds.

3. Tipps for Tuna Salad Low Carb Prepare
I like low carb dishes very much, but I’m always looking for a kick.
If I’m honest, I just need a nice meal on my plate and a wonderful pleasure.
Losing weight is really fun with this salad!
Tip from chef Thomas Sixt
Low Carb is quite simple in this case…
The tuna fish puts a lot of protein on your plate, the other ingredients are only vegetables and fruit, all packed delicious.
Further tips on the recipe
- Instead of spinach use a colourful salad mix.
- Combine other vegetables such as asparagus, fried mushrooms or beetroot with salad.
- Use the oil of the canned tuna for the salad dressing, it contains many valuable Omega 3 fatty acids.
- You can replace honey with sweetener or birch sugar.
