Healthy Tuna Egg Salad

A nutritious and delicious twist on classic tuna salad, featuring Greek yogurt and fresh veggies for a lighter, healthier option.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can of tuna (5 oz)
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ cup celery, diced
  • ¼ cup red onion, finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lettuce, for serving

Instructions

  1. Boil the Eggs: Start by placing your eggs in a pot and covering them with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let them simmer for about 10-12 minutes. Once done, transfer them to an ice bath to cool for easier peeling.
  2. Prep the Ingredients: While the eggs are cooling, dice up your celery and red onion. Set these aside for later.
  3. Mix the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine your drained tuna and Greek yogurt. Add in the Dijon mustard and blend well.
  4. Add the Goodies: Chop your cooled hard-boiled eggs and toss these in along with the diced celery and red onion. Sprinkle in salt and pepper to taste. Fold everything together gently.
  5. Chill and Serve: Pop your tuna salad in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow those flavors to meld.
  6. Plate it Up: When ready to serve, scoop it onto a bed of fresh lettuce or into a whole-grain wrap.

Notes

This salad is versatile and can be used in wraps, sandwiches, or as a dip.
