5-Minute Paleo Tuna Salad
What does eating paleo have to do with your teeth? Well, EVERYTHING. Eating the proper diet—one that’s free of processed carbs, added sugars, lectins, and phytic acid—can do more for fighting cavities and preventing tooth decay than brushing and flossing ever can.

Notes
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve on bed of undressed arugula
- Serve on two pieces of toasted Alvarado sprouted bread
- Serve in a grain-free coconut wrap (I use this brand)
Ideas for Swaps:
- Try chicken instead of tuna. If your kids are finicky about bringing tunafish to school, just swap it out with chicken! You can get a rotisserie chicken on a Sunday night to make this recipe for lunch all week long.
- Try Primal Kitchen mayo instead of avocado. I love this mayo. Not only because it has no industrial seed oils and all paleo ingredients, but because it’s actually the best thing out there when it comes to taste. Everyone goes nuts for this mayo and we make sure to always have it on hand.
- Try grape or cherry tomatoes instead of bell pepper. Especially when tomatoes are in season!
- Try green onion or carrot instead of onion. Really, any type of crispy veggie will do here. It’s hard to go wrong.
