High protein, healthy tuna salad

You know that tempting bowl of tuna salad from the fridge, full of fattening mayonnaise, ready to be eaten? You want it desperately, but you also don't want to ruin your diet. I know that feeling. It's so annoying!

What to do? There is a magical way to reduce unnecessary calories and fat from this traditional recipe, without compromising the taste. I just know you want it. Ok, I will tell you! But don't tell anyone.

The secret is (whisper) to use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise. Simple, right? And the best part, this tuna salad is ridiculously high in protein. One medium serving can have up to 35g of the precious nutrient!

But it doesn't stop here. This meal is SO easy and quick to do, literally anyone can do it.

Sounds appealing, doesn't it?

INGREDIENTS

• 3 oz of canned tuna
• 2 tbsp of Greek yogurt (or more, depending on how creamy you want your salad to be)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Drain the tuna from its liquid (water, oil etc.)

2. Mix the tuna and yogurt and enjoy!

How to eat this tuna salad? Eat it as it is, spread it on bread, eat it in sandwiches or burritos - the possibilities are endless. Since this recipe on its own is high in protein, but lacks fat and carbs, I would recommend eating it with some veggies and a fat source (avocado, egg etc).
