The Best Tuna Salad Recipe
Tuna salad is a light and delicious meal option when you want a high-protein, low-carb meal for lunch. You can prep this ahead of time and serve over a bed of lettuce, on a sandwich, with crackers or with parmesan crisps.

Ingredients
- 2 5- ounce cans of tuna I use Albacore
- 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise
- 1 stalk of celery diced
- 2 tablespoons red onion diced
- 1 1/2 tablespoons of fresh parsley diced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Drain the liquid from the tuna cans. In a medium bowl, combine the tuna, mayo, Dijon, diced celery, diced red onion, parsley, and black pepper.
- Stir all the ingredients until combined. Taste for salt and add if needed. Typically it's not necessary as tuna is salty on its own.
- Enjoy the tuna salad as a sandwich, with crackers, over a bed of crunchy romaine as a salad.
Notes
If you want a creamier texture - you can always add more mayo. I'm not a huge mayo fan, so I use the bare minimum to add moisture and bind the salad together.
