keto tuna salad
I am a chicken salad fan but I remember school days when I would get tuna packs with mayo and relish with crackers that I loved. I had no idea what to was other than something tasty but being an adult I can refine the flavor. This recipe is great and light especially with the warmer months approaching.

Is Tuna Salad Keto

Yes, the very basic tuna salad is keto friendly as long as it doesn’t have any added sugar. I am not sure why someone would add sugar to tuna salad but I live in America and everyone loves sweet things.

Is Canned Tuna OK On Keto Diet

Beyond the myths of mercury tuna is great on the keto diet. As most fish the fat content is very low and high in protein. This recipe helps add fat and flavor with it so no problems there. If you’re eating just canned tuna have some sort of fat to add into the meal such as an avocado on the side.

How To Make Keto Tuna Salad

First, drain canned tuna. For this recipe I bought 2 12 oz cans which yielded 9 oz of meat each. If using less or more be sure to adjust to taste.

Next, add mayo, chopped boiled egg, dill relish, chopped celery stalks and mix. Salt and pepper to taste and finish with lemon juice.

Give a good mix and serve. This is a recipe you can make ahead and as with most salads the longer it sits the better the flavors work together.

Serve as lettuce wraps, eat alone or due to keto advancing you can buy yourself some keto bread.

Hi, I'm Darius. I am aware that I'm rather young but I started caring about my health years ago. I think it's truly important because at a young age I knew the food they were feeding us was complete b.s, can I curse up here?
