Mexican Ensalada de Atun is a refreshing tuna, cucumber and mayonnaise salad that is common to most Mexican home tables. Simple, easy, affordable and nutritious. This makes a big batch which can serve as a lunch or dinner for a large family, or for left overs.
Add the reserved tomatoes, peppers, onion, cucumbers and lettuce, mixing each one in as you go. Add salt and cilantro to taste and stir in. All ingredients should be thoroughly mixed together by now.
1 bunch cilantro, 1-3 teaspoons salt
Serve with lime wedges and saltine crackers (optional).
3 limes

Notes
MODIFYING TO LOW CARBThere are two ingredients in this recipe that are not compliant with a low carb diet: the corn and the saltines. It is a simple matter to leave the corn out of the salad and to skip the saltines.Some will consider it blasphemy however, to not serve this salad with the classic saltines, but if you are really strict on your low carb lifestyle, crackers are not allowed. I would add some celery to the salad to give it a little more crunch.**Want more like this? Subscribe to our Sunday newsletter to get recipes, gardening guides and diet help.
