Healthy tuna salad is a creamy, protein-rich dish made with simple, wholesome ingredients like Greek yogurt, fresh veggies, and lemon juice. It’s a lighter take on the classic recipe, perfect for sandwiches, lettuce wraps, or meal prep.

Ingredients

  • 1 can (5–6 oz) tuna in water, drained
  • 2–3 tbsp Greek yogurt (or mashed avocado)
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 celery stalk, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1 tbsp chopped fresh herbs (parsley or dill)
  • Optional: 1 tbsp chopped pickles or cucumber

Instructions

  1. Drain tuna and flake with a fork in a mixing bowl.
  2. Stir in Greek yogurt and Dijon mustard until creamy.
  3. Add celery, red onion, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until combined.
  4. Fold in herbs or pickles if using. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  5. Serve chilled in lettuce wraps, on toast, in a sandwich, or enjoy plain.

Notes

  • Substitute Greek yogurt with mashed avocado or hummus for dairy-free options.
  • Add chopped hard-boiled egg, shredded carrot, or diced apple for variations.
  • For Mediterranean flair, mix in olives, cherry tomatoes, or feta cheese.
