Notes

  • Enjoy as a salad in a bowl or as a sandwich filler. If you want to keep the carbohydrates low, use romaine lettuce to make lettuce wraps with this healthy tuna salad recipe.
  • Scoop it up with healthy crackers or tortilla chips.
  • Switch up the flavor by substituting the dill for different herbs like parsley or cilantro
  • Add half a tablespoon of dijon mustard or a couple of splashes of hot sauce for a spicier taste.
  • Swap the lemon juice for lime juice for a little less tartness.
  • Store in an airtight container or cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and keep it in the fridge for up to 2 days.
