Tuna Salad
Wanting to change up my meals, I made tuna salad this week. It’s so easy to prepare because you’re not cooking anything (except boiling eggs if you want egg whites in yours). I eat mine over greens (butter lettuce and arugula), but it’s also good as a sandwich on whole wheat bread. One of my favorite things my Grandma used to make for me was a tuna melt. She put the tuna on a piece of toast with a slice of cheese on top, then microwaved it for about 30 seconds. It’s really good that way!
Because I wanted to make enough to eat for several meals, I used:
INGREDIENTS
- 2 large cans of albacore tuna in water
- 1 onion chopped finely
- Relish (about 1/4 cup of sweet & 1/4 cup of dill)
- 5 cooked egg whites chopped
- 3/4 cup light mayo
- Butter lettuce and arugula (I just put a handful of each in my bowl)
- *a squeeze of lemon is good too, but I didn’t have any
I’m guessing on the measurements of the relish and mayo because I didn’t precisely measure, I just scooped it in, but I think that’s about right. Use more or less depending on your taste preferences.
Looks so good. Will have to try this for lunch.
I have been loving tuna lately! What's your favourite brand? The kind I used to buy in Canada isn't sold here.
Hi Leanne, lately I've been buying Starkist.
Looks yummy! Sometimes I add brown rice or chopped celery to mine.
Was just thinking celery would be good too!
Looks good, will have to give this a try. So are you sticking to a certain calorie count per day? Just starting this journey and am using your meal plan with some of my own tweaks and it is coming out to about 1300-1400 cal/day. Love reading your posts and learning new food ideas.
I haven't counted calories but I need to because I want to make sure I'm getting enough to build muscle without burning it. When I figure it out, I'll post about it. Keep up your hard work Corie! Let me know how it's going!
Oh yum! That sounds absolutely delicious!
