The Ultimate Triple Tuna Egg Potato Salad combines potato salad, egg salad, and tuna salad into one dynamic Paleo, gluten-free, and dairy-free lunch or snack option. This healthy and clean salad is also Whole 30-approved.

You can absolutely boil your potatoes if that is your thing.  You can also sub out the tuna for chicken if you don’t like seafood, or for chickpeas if you are a vegetarian!

Ingredients

  • 4 large pasture-raised organic eggs
  • 1 pound of small red potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 TB avocado oil
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp ground garlic powder
  • 2 5-ounce cans of wild albacore tuna, drained
  • 1/4 cup of diced celery
  • 1/4 cup of sliced green onions
  • 3/4 cup of Paleo-friendly mayo*
  • 1 tsp of fine sea salt
  • 1 tsp of ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp of fresh or dried dill

Instructions

  1. Place eggs in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil. Once boiling, turn the heat off and cover the pot with a lid. Let the eggs sit for 12 minutes. Remove from the pot and place in an ice bath for at least 5 minutes. Peel, slice, and store in the fridge.
  2. While the eggs are cooking, preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Mix cubed potatoes, avocado oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Roast for approximately 25 minutes, or until golden brown (stir at least once while roasting). Let cool.
  3. Combine eggs, potatoes, tuna, celery, onions, mayo, and spices in a large bowl. Stir until well-combined.
  4. Serve in a grain-free tortilla, on Paleo bread, or with veggies and plantain chips.

Notes

*Primal Kitchen mayo is my favorite!

**I like to cook my eggs and potatoes the night before making the salad.
