Getting into a routine of healthy eating can be tough, but with simple protein packed recipes with fresh ingredients, it gets a lot easier!

Zucchini Boats are one of my go-to healthy dinner options, made in under 30 minutes! You can fill the zucchini with buffalo chicken, Greek spiced ground turkey or delicious StarKist Selects E.V.O.O.™ Yellowfin Tuna with Sun Dried Tomatoes.

StarKist Selects E.V.O.O. Tuna is packed in extra virgin olive oil giving it a rich flavor and tender texture. It’s perfect for adding to a Mediterranean Tuna Salad because the olive oil works as a binding ingredient without adding any mayo or dairy to the tuna salad.

You might have had tuna salad as a sandwich or lettuce wrap, but did you ever think about stuffing it in roasted zucchini boats? I didn’t think so!

Welcome to a new, fun recipe that I know you’re going to love!

How to make them

Slice the zucchini in half lengthwise, then use a knife or spoon to hollow out the middle of each zucchini. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper, then roast in the oven for 10 minutes.

While the zucchinis are roasting, make the Mediterranean Tuna Salad by combining roasted red peppers, sun dried tomatoes, spinach, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, pepper and StarKist Selects E.V.O.O.™ Yellowfin Tuna with Sun-dried Tomato in a large bowl.

Once the zucchini comes out of the oven, fill it with the tuna salad and dig in!

The entire recipe only takes 20 minutes to make, it’s also totally delicious, gluten free and low carb!
