I used red quinoa, since that's what was on hand. It has a slight crunch and is very tasty, but you can make it with regular quinoa, wild rice, black rice, and even couscous.
I don't have time for a real "recipe" right now, but here is what's in it and I am sure you can improvise the rest.
- Canned tuna, drained (I prefer to use one in oil)
- Cooked quinoa, cooled
- Sliced tomatillos (tomatoes make a good substitute)
- Thinly sliced red onions
- Cilantro (parsley, basil, and mint can all be good)
- Lime juice
- Salt and pepper

This looks fantastic, I'm going to try it tomorrow! At first glance I thought you'd added avocado...now I can't get that out of my head and I may have to add it, too. Thanks for the inspiration!
The princess of fish may have slowed your posting down, but the quality sure hasn't suffered!
(And those pictures of her meeting her grandmothers are heart-meltingly beautiful!)
Helen,
Thanks for the great posts, I eagerly look forward to your updates!
I was wondering if you could clarify why you prefer tuna in oil?
I've read that oil packed tuna is lower in Omega-3s and higher in mercury than tuna packed in water. I also personally don't like the taste of the oil and find it difficult to completely drain out.
Of course, my research has probably been a lot less scrutinizing than your own, and/or maybe you just prefer the taste of tuna in oil!
Thanks!
Hi Christina,
I just prefer the taste of tuna in oil, but if you like it in water just use that.
Cheers,

Little Princess will soon be cooking fish in the kitchen!
Thank you for the gluten free quinoa salad. It looks delicious. I originally came by to read about parasites in fish.
Congratulations on your new little one.
