Caribbean Tuna Salad, a twist on the classic tuna salad recipe with Caribbean flavors added; jerk seasoning, mangoes, and habanero peppers!

Tuna salad hands down has to be one of my favorite things to make whenever I’m hungry because it’s a simple, no cook recipe that’s ready in no time. Its fuss free and can be eaten in so many different ways.

It’s also really healthy, and has been a great alternative to a lot of the meals that I normally eat since I’m now actively watching what I eat. Since I’ve been eating it so much, I wanted to switch up the flavors from a traditional tuna salad so I came up with this Caribbean Tuna Salad.To make a good tuna salad, you need to start off with some good quality tuna. I use Wild Selections^®Solid White Albacore packed in water not only because of the taste, but also because its great for the environment. Wild Selections is the only full line of Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certified sustainable seafood. It’s blue MSC eco-label tells you the fish in your can comes from well managed fisheries and healthy fish stocks!

With Earth Day coming up on April 22th, its nice to be reminded that we need to become more aware on how we treat our environment. A great way to do that is by buying products that are both delicious and great for the environment. Wild Selections^® works to ensure a fish-full future and gives back to the oceans by donating 13 cents from every can sold to World Wildlife Fund marine conservation and fishery improvement projects.

Awesome premium quality, that’s sustainably sourced and you can visit WildSelections.com to learn where the fish in your can was caught.

I stuck with the celery and red onions which you’ll traditionally find in a tuna salad, but to get those Caribbean flavors I added some diced mangoes, sweet bell peppers, adobo chipotle pepper, habanero, and jerk seasoning. This really AMPS up the flavor, and I love it because it’s a break from the norm.
