One of my favorite go-to lunches for a kick of protein and flavor is tuna salad, but it can be loaded with mayo. I personally like a lighter version, so I made this healthier option (recipe below). It’s just canned tuna in water, light mayo, dijon mustard, red onion, and celery. Mostly items that you’d have in your pantry already, or from dinners throughout the week, and it makes for a great lunch or dinner! If you’re feeling like mixing it up, you could even have it for breakfast, but I personally don’t feel like any fish first thing in the morning 🙂

So here you go, a simple, healthy, and delicious tuna salad. And don’t forget to add some avocado – I can never have too much of that!
