Healthy Tuna Salad without mayo FAQ
Absolutely, yes! Canned tuna is a healthy choice. It is a very nutritious and inexpensive way to get your protein intake. Tuna also has quite a long shelf life so you can stock up on tuna to enjoy whenever you’d like.
If you’re wondering what on earth is in a tuna salad that doesn’t contain mayo, it’s greek yogurt! It has similar texture, richness, and brings all the flavors together beautifully. You will love the substitution!
If you’re trying to cut down on carbs, you can leave out the bread and serve your salad on lettuce instead. Butter lettuce is perfect for tuna lettuce wraps, but you can use any type of lettuce that you have on hand.
While you technically can freeze tuna salad, I don’t recommend it. When thawing, the yogurt can become separated and will affect the creamy texture that it has when it is fresh.
In the fridge, when stored properly, tuna salad will last for about 3-5 days.
