Healthy and Delicious Thai Chili Mango Tuna Chopped Salad

I LOVE a good chopped salad. And this one is totally loaded guys. The ingredients on their own give this salad so much flavor, but add the sweet red chili dressing and it’s over the top on the flavor scale.

You know I’m only a fan of salads that are chuck full of lots of delicious ingredients. No boring rabbit food salads for me.

I love the added broccoli slaw and crumbled cauliflower that this one has. And of course the tuna. But if you’re not a fan of tuna, cooked chicken would also work or maybe even shrimp. Don’t skip the dried chopped mango. I think you’ll enjoy the added chewy texture amidst all the crunch that this salad has.

Hope y’all give this healthy chopped salad a go!

Notes

If you don't have any sunflower seeds on hand but have some nuts like pecans or almonds, you can just substitute.

You can find the broccoli slaw and cauliflower crumbs in the fruit and vegetable aisle at most markets.
