Mediterranean Tuna “Nachos”

These are nacho average nachos. A sophisticated take on loaded nachos, we substituted tortilla chips with fresh cucumber and piled them with our Mediterranean tuna salad and layers upon layers of veggies for an indulgence you won’t regret.

What Kind of Tuna Should I Use?

I definitely suggest chunk light tuna for this recipe because I think it’s the happy medium between good texture (large pieces instead of tiny flakes) and price. You can use tuna packed in either water or oil, whichever you prefer. The nutritional stats below are calculated using tuna packed in water.

How Long Does it Last?

The tuna salad will stay fresh for about 3-4 days. The ingredients hold up extremely well in the refrigerator. You do want to give it a good stir before serving, though, to redistribute the dressing and make sure everything is as flavorful as possible.

• Quick & Easy: This Nachos recipe comes together in just 10 – 15 minutes, making it perfect for busy weeknights or meal prep.
• Healthy & nutritious: Packed with protein-rich tuna, fresh veggies, and heart-healthy olive oil, it’s a wholesome meal that leaves you feeling great.
