This delicious and protein-packed salad combines roasted red peppers, tuna, and creamy hummus, with a spicy kick from Sriracha sauce. Perfect for a quick, healthy meal or snack.

Ingredients

  • (8 ounce) jar roasted red peppers, drained
  • 4 (5 ounce) cans water-packed tuna, well drained
  • 4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • cup roasted garlic hummus
  • 1 bunch green onions, chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
  • 2 tablespoons capers
  • 4 teaspoons seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay)

Directions

  1. Drain the roasted red peppers and gently pat them dry with a paper towel. Place them in a food processor and blend until finely chopped.
  2. Transfer the chopped roasted red peppers to a large mixing bowl. Add the drained tuna, chopped hard-boiled eggs, roasted garlic hummus, chopped green onions, finely chopped celery, Sriracha sauce, capers, and seafood seasoning.
  3. Mix everything together thoroughly until evenly combined.
  4. Divide the mixture into individual portions of about 1 cup each. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Cook's Note

If you're short on time, here's a quick tip for perfectly cooked hard-boiled eggs using an Instant Pot: Add 1 cup of water to the pot and place the eggs on the trivet. Cook on low pressure for 6 minutes, then manually release the pressure. Transfer the eggs to ice water to cool down before peeling.
