How to Make Tuna Salad Meal Prep

There’s really nothing to it - just mix everything together in a bowl until well combined. That’s it. Seriously. You can also adjust it to suit your preferences. Try yogurt in place of mayo or add extra crunch with cucumber or celery.

Ways to Serve Your Tuna Salad

Make a batch and mix it up through the week to keep things interesting:

• Pile it onto crusty bread or wrap it up in pita with avocado and lettuce
• Toast it with cheese for a gooey, golden melt
• Toss through salad greens and top with shaved parmesan
• Scoop it into lettuce cups for a low-carb bite
• Stir it through cooked pasta for a simple hot or cold salad
• Build a nourishing bowl with grains like quinoa, lentils, or chickpeas
• Load it into a baked potato with melty cheese
• Fill half an avocado for a quick, no-fuss lunch
• Dollop it onto crackers for an easy snack
• Make tuna quesadillas for something a little different
