Easy Healthier Tuna Salad
I won't lie, I have never liked tuna salad. I don't usually care for fish that tastes "fishy." Which, I understand means I probably don't like fish all that much. I know it can be a super healthy food and full of so many good things for us, but I struggle to make myself want to eat it. I have always specifically avoided tuna. It seemed like the fishiest of the fish and I wanted nothing to do with it.
Well, I am eating my humble pie now. I love tuna and I never knew! It starts with buying the right brand and type. I did some research on which brands were the most sustainable and there was a lot of information out there. I won't make any recommendations, because honestly I have only tried a couple types at this point. If you have a tried and true brand, stick with that. Otherwise, I encourage you to do a little research to find what you may enjoy taste/texture wise as well.
This tuna salad is lighter because it lessens the amount of Mayo used and subs in plain greek yogurt. I don't think it sacrifices for taste in any way! Feel free to completely take out the mayo and use more yogurt for an even healthier salad.
I hope you enjoy and have fun adding all sorts of yummy toppings to this!
