This recipe translates professional efficiency into a fast, high-protein lunch. We swap heavy mayonnaise for Greek yogurt to deliver a light, creamy, and satisfying healthy tuna salad ready in under 15 minutes. This is your go-to for meal prep or a quick, clean-eating meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (5 oz each) water-packed tuna, drained
  • 1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill or parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Open the tuna cans and drain the water completely. Place the tuna in a medium bowl.
  2. Add the Greek yogurt, chopped celery, red onion, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard to the bowl.
  3. Use a fork to gently flake and mix the ingredients until they are just combined. Do not overmix; you want some texture remaining.
  4. Stir in the fresh dill or parsley, black pepper, and salt. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  5. Serve immediately or cover and chill for later meal prep. This is great on whole-grain bread, in lettuce cups, or with crackers.

Notes

  • For a high-protein boost, add one finely chopped hard-boiled egg to the mix.
  • If you prefer a tangier flavor, substitute half of the Greek yogurt with plain cottage cheese blended until smooth.
  • This recipe is naturally low carb and gluten free, making it suitable for keto or Whole30 approaches when served without bread.
  • Keep this salad chilled; it holds well for up to three days for easy meal prep.
