Tuna salad might bring back memories of childhood lunches, but this version is all grown up! With bright mint, crunchy walnuts, and creamy Greek yogurt, it’s fresh, satisfying, and packed with protein. Perfect for lunch, meal prep, or a quick dinner, it’s comfort food with a modern edge.

Tuna salad with mint and walnuts — makes 1 sandwich

Ingredients:
• 20 ounces of tuna, water-packed canned
• 6 tablespoons of non-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard
• 2 celery, diced
• ¼ cup of parsley, minced
• 2 tablespoons of fresh mint, julienned
• ½ cup of walnuts, chopped and toasted

Directions:

Drain the tuna and add it to a large mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and stir until just combined.
Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve with sliced fresh veggies and a salad or with whole-grain bread.
Handy Hint: When mixing together your tuna salad, use a fork instead of a spoon to create a lighter, fluffier salad. The fork introduces a bit of air into the mix, where a mixing spoon actually compresses the salad as you stir, leaving you with a denser dish.
