Shredded raw vegetable salads have been so satisfying. I think I’m feeling the need to lighten up meals for spring. Two slaws this past week have been lunch and I made them with a can of skipjack tuna, a quick vinaigrette and a clean-out of the vegetable drawer.
Tuna Cabbage Slaw
- 2 cups finely sliced savoy cabbage
- 1 carrot, peeled and shredded
- 1/4 cup red pepper, finely diced
- 3 Tbs red wine vinegar
- 2 Tbs olive oil
- 1 tsp agave or honey
- 1 clove garlic crushed
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- salt and pepper
- 1 can skipjack tuna
Toss together vegetables and chunked tuna. Whisk together oil, vinegar, agave, mustard, garlic and season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour over slaw and serve. Makes two generous lunch portions.

Yum! That looks like such a light and delicious lunch option! Bikini season is just around the corner, and this looks like a great way to get there. Thanks for sharing.
Looks great and a fast easy meal. Thanks for that wonderful reminder about bikini season. I’ll leave that to you and your daughter.
Thank you for sharing this on RFW.
Let’s leave it to the teenager.
Yum! I spent most of my life avoiding slaw … what a dodo I was! LOL I usually have tuna salad mixed with cole slaw greens, but I like this idea much better. Thanks, Wendy!
