Healthy, High Protein, Low Carb Tuna Salad Recipe

I love tuna salad but I don’t enjoy it unless it is moist and full of ingredients that usually increase the carbs and fats. I don’t typically eat low carb or low fat but I do like lower carb/fat main courses so I can add other things to it. I enjoy strength training, so I try to eat a macro friendly diet. This tuna salad recipe is great for getting that protein in and staying lower on fats and carbs. I like to add gluten free crackers or pretzels to add some carbs to this meal. This is one of my go to meals to take to work for lunch. I throw it together the day before and it’s even better the next day.

Ingredients for this High Protein, Low Carb Tuna Salad Recipe

This tuna salad recipe is a little healthier than others because I have replaced some of the mayo with cottage cheese. You could even replace all the mayo with cottage cheese or just leave the mayo out completely to make it even lower fat.

What you’ll need for this recipe:

• Tuna
• Boiled eggs
• Light Mayo
• Lowfat Cottage Cheese
• Mustard
• Dill pickle and juice
• Optional: vegetables, crackers, pretzels. You could also put it on bread to make a sandwich.

What I love about tuna salad is that it’s one big bowl and you can add, change, or substitute ingredients to your taste or health preferences.

Another good macro friendly recipe is this Gluten Free Creamy Mushroom Spinach Beef Pasta. It is packed with protein and veggies!
