Healthy Tuna Salad (Crazy Easy)
Description
Healthy Tuna Salad (Crazy Easy) brings together canned tuna packed in water with diced purple onion, celery, and pickles for a mixture of savory and fresh elements. The dressing, made of Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper, adds creaminess and a mild kick without overpowering the tuna. Mixing these ingredients results in a well-balanced salad with a variety of textures from the firm tuna to crisp vegetables.
Prepared by simply combining all ingredients, it can be served alone for a light protein snack, spooned onto lettuce leaves for a low-carb option, or used as a sandwich filling for a more substantial meal. The use of both Greek yogurt and mayonnaise creates a creamy texture with less fat than mayonnaise alone.
Ingredients
- 21 oz tuna packed in water, canned
- 1/3 cup purple onion
- 2 pickles medium
- 2 celery stalks
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tbsp salt adjust to taste
- 1 tsp black pepper adjust to taste, ground
- 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
Instructions
- Drain as much of the water out of the tuna can as you can. Place the fish in a large bowl and break it apart with a fork.
- Dice the onion, celery, and pickled into evenly-sized pieces and add them to the bowl of tuna.
- Add in the mayonnaise, yogurt, dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
- Stir the salad until well-combined. Serve on it's own, on lettuce leaves, or sandwiched in between bread. Enjoy!
