Tuna salad is a go to lunch for me every week! It’s loaded with protein and nutrients, budget friendly, diet friendly, AND my kids even love it! The amount of protein it contains makes it a very satisfying, yet low calorie and low carb, meal. It’s really great for days you need something to hold you over until dinner, aka a busy afternoon. 🙂

This tuna salad recipe is such a quick meal! It’s easy to change to just how you like it, and it tastes delicious. You can serve tuna salad on bread or toast, in a roamaine lettuce wrap, on wasa crackers (my fave!), or with regular crackers.

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • Canned tuna. Any canned tuna will work! I get tuna in water, and drain it well.
  • Mayonnaise. I love an olive oil mayonnaise, but you can use whatever mayo you choose!.
  • Celery. Celery gives tuna salad the perfect crunch that it needs!
  • Purple Onion. I love that little bit of strong onion flavor mixed in for a bold taste.
  • Garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper. Gotta have the seasonings!

How To Make This Tuna Salad Recipe

It’s very simple to make this recipe! Drain the tuna, and place it in a bowl. Chop up your onion and celery and throw it in the bowl. Put the mayonnaise, onion, celery, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in bowl, and stir it all together! Serve the tuna salad on bread, toast, crackers, wasa, lettuce, or serve plain. That’s it!!

What can I use instead of mayonnaise?

Greek yogurt can be used in place of mayo, but will result in a more tangy flavor. Mashed avocado will make it more creamy when used in place of the mayo. I suggest using half mayo and half avocado for a yummy taste.

What else can I put in my tuna salad?

Some more things that you can add to tuna salad are pickle relish, chopped cucumber, chopped apples, or grated carrots.

Switch the spices out for some ‘everything bagel’ seasoning! I especially like this seasoning when I add avocado to the salad.

Don’t forget, adding a piece of lettuce or tomato slice to the sandwich, really amps it up!
