Thai Tuna Salad Wraps
One of my favorite places to eat in my neighborhood is a cozy little family-owned Thai place on the corner of a strip mall where I used to work. It was a popular pit stop for employees on their lunch break, but I worked the night shift, so I always missed peak business hours any time a Thai-food craving struck. Which was perfect, because I’d get the place to myself. I could wake up near closing time with a Thai iced tea or Thai coffee before going into work and slurp down some leftover Tom Kha Gai or Beef Udon on my own midnight lunch break. And if I was feeling particularly hungry, I’d pick up some of their spicy, peanutty Thai Tuna Salad. Mmf. This AIP-friendly version is a modest ode to Thai flavors, served up on a lettuce wrap with plenty of spice despite the lack of red chilies! It’s my all-time favorite way to eat tuna.
Looking for more easy AIP recipes?
I know diet change can feel overwhelming. I started the autoimmune protocol at a time when only four other people were writing about it, and over the years, I’ve striven to give you the resources I wish I’d had when I got started. Not just recipes, but ways to implement them. My first ebook 28 Days of AIP is a meal plan that will help you get going (or get back on the wagon) with as little fuss as possible. With a variety of simple, delicious recipes, plenty of leftovers so you don’t spend all your free time in the kitchen, and shopping lists ready to go, all you have to do is follow the plan, then sit down and enjoy your meal! It’s available as a digital download for $9.99.
