Low Carb Tuna Salad with Dijon Mustard

If there’s one thing you can always find in my pantry, it’s a can of tuna. It’s my go-to for quick and healthy lunches, especially on those days when I’m swamped with work and barely have time to think about making a meal. Today, I’m sharing my latest obsession – a Low Carb Tuna Salad with Dijon Mustard. This salad packs a punch with bold Dijon that just adds that perfect zing! It’s a versatile dish that fits into all those low-carb lifestyles we’re seeing everywhere, but mostly, it’s just deliciously satisfying.

For this tuna salad, I love folding it into big, crisp lettuce leaves for a makeshift wrap or just plopping it on top of a fresh salad. Sometimes, I’ll scoop it up with endive leaves or celery sticks when I’m feeling extra crunchy. On days that I’m okay with a little more carb action, a toasted whole grain English muffin makes a perfect bed for this flavorful mix.

Ingredients

2 cans (6 ounces each) of tuna in water, drained
2 tablespoons mayonnaise (go for mayo made with avocado oil for a healthier twist)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
1/4 red onion, minced
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill or 1 teaspoon dried dill
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: Add whatever extra veggies you like
