HEALTHY TUNA SALAD

Healthy Tuna Salad with less mayo that actually tastes good. It is creamy, fluffy and flavorful. Meal prep, refrigerate for up to 5 days and use for school and work lunches, cold dinner or easy weekend meal.

Other meal prep packed healthy salads we keep in the fridge on repeat are healthy chicken salad and healthy egg salad. Helps a lot with eating healthy. Enjoy!

Types of Canned Tuna

Canned tuna divides into 2 main categories – packed in oil and packed in water.

I buy canned tuna packed in water. I do not see a need for extra oil as we drain it anyways.

Albacore tuna has less “fishy” taste and white “meaty” texture. Yellowfin/skipjack/light tuna is tan to pink in colour and has more strong fish taste.

I always buy chunky one vs. whole because it’s cheaper.

How Long Can You Refrigerate Tuna Salad?

Tuna salad tastes best cold. After making one, let your healthy tuna salad sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes and you will see what I mean.

Here is the best part – tuna salad can be refrigerated for up to 5 days. It is perfect for meal prep – school and work lunches, cold summer dinner, weekend easy lunch. I like to make tuna salad in a large Pyrex glass bowl,  then just pop a lid on and refrigerate.

Tuna salad has really grown on me. It is not something I ate growing up in Ukraine.
