Ingredients
Scale
- 3 Sweet Baby Spring Turnips (or 2 regular turnips)
- 1–2 cucumber (1 large or 2 small)
- 1 tsp minced Garlic (about 3 cloves)
- 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup chopped shallot or red onion
- 1/4 cup paleo mayo (see notes for other options)

- 5 ounces wild caught canned tuna (drained)
Instructions
- Wash and dry your vegetables.
- Next spiralize your turnips and cucumbers. Place in a bowl together with a pinch of salt and cover. Place in fridge while you make the sauce.
- In another bowl, mix together your mayo (we use paleo brand), mustard powder, lemon juice, garlic, onion, and salt/pepper (to taste). Set aside.
- . Drain your tuna and place in a bowl to separate pieces.
- Next mix up your olive oil with a pinch of chili pepper in it.
- Remove your cucumber and turnip spiralized vegetables from fridge. Drain any excess water from the bowl and pat vegetables dry with a towel. Do this a few times until water is removed.
- Place spiralized vegetables in a bowl and mix in mayo mixture. Add your tuna and chili red pepper to the bowl and mix again.
- Drizzle your olive oil with chili pepper on top. Cilantro to garnish.
- Extra lemon, salt/pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste if desired.
- Serve. Refrigerate leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Notes
- We use this spiralizer with small blade for this type of salad. KitchenAid also has an attachment for their stand mixer that works great!
- If you don’t want to use mayonnaise, feel free to use Greek yogurt or sour cream, but the recipe will not be paleo.
