Ingredients

Tuna Salad

  • 2 5-oz cans chunky light tuna
  • ¼ cup diced celery
  • 2 green onions sliced
  • 3 tablespoon mayonnaise OR ⅓ cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 4 bibb lettuce leaves
  • crackers

Other Sides

  • 2 Apple and 3 tablespoons of peanut butter
  • 3 cups grapes
  • ¾ cup raw almonds
  • Olives
  • 1 bell pepper
  • 3 boiled eggs
  • Cucumbers

Instructions

  • Drain the cans of tuna. Mix the first 8 ingredients ( tuna through pepper) together in a medium bowl. Add more salt and pepper to taste.
  • Place lettuce leaves into 3 meal prep containers. Divide tuna mixture into the meal prep containers.
  • Add your sides. Store in the fridge up to 3-5 days.

Notes

  • To ensure the crackers stay crisp, I recommend storing them in a plastic bag at room temperature, not in the fridge with the tuna salad.
  • Put lemon juice on your apples to help slow down the browning after you cut it.
  • When you can, I suggest you using light tuna. It has almost a third less mercury than white tuna (Albacore and yellowfin).
