Hands-On Time: 10 minutes | Total Time: 10 minutes


Ingredients:

For the Tuna Salad:

  • 1 can (4 oz) tuna in water, drained
  • 1/2 cup chopped cucumber
  • 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper (any color)
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped celery


For the Creamy Dressing:

  • 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (or use all yogurt for a lighter option)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar (apple cider or white)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: a pinch of garlic powder or paprika for extra flavor


To Serve:

  • On whole grain toast, lettuce wraps, or with crackers


Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Veggies

Chop all vegetables into small, bite-sized pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.


Step 2: Mix the Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise (if using), olive oil, vinegar, and spices until smooth.


Step 3: Combine Everything

Add the drained tuna and dressing to the chopped vegetables. Gently stir until well combined.


Step 4: Serve

Scoop the tuna salad onto toast, in lettuce cups, or enjoy with crackers.


TIPS
  • For a low-carb option, skip the toast and serve in lettuce wraps or with sliced cucumber rounds.
  • Add a hard-boiled egg or avocado for extra richness and nutrients.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days.
