Both meals not only have a lightness to them that you won’t find in other salads or sandwiches, but their refreshing tastes will make your taste buds thank you for days after eating them!

I guarantee it.

4. Grilled zucchini with pesto sauce

Pairing a side dish with tuna salad isn’t always the simplest endeavor, but the results may be stunning when done correctly.

This grilled zucchini dish is my spin on traditional pesto pasta.

It has all of the basil and pine nuts, but I’ve added a little of lemon and garlic to give it some zing. It’ll be difficult to resist the combination of tastes and the delightful bite of tuna!

5. Baked beans with bacon and brown sugar

Nobody can deny that baked beans are quite filling.

They’ll always be a favorite when coupled with tuna salad, whether you prefer them spicy, smokey, sweet, or just plain great!

This dish is perfect for any season, but particularly for the summer.

It’s light, flavorful, and can be produced in minutes, making this side dish an excellent choice for a fast, nutritious snack or lunch.

6. Cauliflower rice fried in butter and curry powder 

The curry powder and butter provide an incredible depth of flavor to this meal, making you forget about whatever you were thinking about just a minute before.

Because of the curry and butter mix, the cauliflower rice tastes like it was cooked in butter, and I adore butter.

As a side dish, it may be prepared similarly to a typical potato dish, and it is much simpler to prepare than a traditional potato salad.

It’s also ideal if you’re looking for a more full and healthy side dish.

7. Asparagus spears cooked in olive oil, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and Parmesan cheese

This may seem to be an unusual match, but believe me when I tell it works well.

Just because you’re accustomed to matching broccoli with tuna salad doesn’t mean asparagus has to be added to the list of things that don’t mix together!

The ingredients in this recipe are generally subtle enough that they do not overpower the other tastes in the meal.

It mentions asparagus stems, which are the tough sections of the vegetable that are normally removed or cooked separately from the florets.

8. Couscous with dried cranberries, toasted almonds, and parsley

This side dish has just the right amount of crunch and sweetness to complement a substantial tuna salad.

Toasting the couscous makes it extra fluffy, and you can experiment with other types of nuts for a more diversified flavor.

I hope you love cooking this dish as much as I did putting it together!

9. Simple slaw

There’s nothing better than a basic slaw for a light side dish.

To create a delicious slaw, you don’t need any complicated recipes or ingredients.

This traditional slaw recipe is ideal for topping a grilled burger or sandwich, or as a side dish for a fast lunch on the run.

The slaw derives its taste from lemon, vinegar, and salt, but the greatest part is that it only takes a few ingredients and can be made with anything you have in your kitchen.

Look no farther than this dish if you want something light, refreshing, and tasty.

10. Baked sweet potato fries

Tuna salad isnt complete without french fries.

This may seem to be an unusual combo, but believe me when I say you won’t be sorry!

When combined with the other ingredients, the potatoes turn out wonderfully golden brown and delicious!

The sweet potato and tuna combo is reminiscent of my favorite childhood snack, potato chips!

Conclusion

Whether you want a basic tuna salad sandwich or something more flavorful, these recipes are guaranteed to delight even the pickiest diners!

When it comes to side dishes, there are several alternatives.

Pick one, but dont stop there.

Try them all and see which one you like the best!
