Ways To Eat Tuna Salad

Now all you have to do is decide how you’re going to eat it.

  • Use it as a sandwich filling – I love the Keto, low carb tortillas and bread
  • Add it on top of a nice bed of lettuce leaves
  • Dip tortilla chips, crackers, or parmesan crisps into it
  • Top rice cakes with it

How Long Does Tuna Salad with Egg Last?

This will last you 3 to 7 days as long as you keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Not to mention, it’s a great excuse to get a big can of tuna and a few hard boiled eggs so that you can make a big batch at a time.

That way you’ll have leftovers ready to eat for the week.

Additions or Substitutions

Here are some ingredients you can add OR use as substitutes in order to make it just the way you like it:

  • Greek Yogurt or Sour Cream (instead of mayonnaise)
  • Chopped celery
  • Chopped green onion or finely chopped red onion
  • Water chestnuts
  • 1 teaspoon of Dijon Mustard – you can add this and decrease the amount of mayonnaise
  • Alfalfa sprouts
  • Bean sprouts
  • Chopped cucumber
  • Chopped peppers
  • Thinly sliced radishes
  • Chopped tomatoes
  • Lemon Pepper
  • Spices
  • Lemon Juice
  • Dill Pickle Relish or Sweet Pickle Relish
  • Fresh Dill Weed

As you can see, there are multiple ways you can make your very own version of this recipe.

Very Easy & Quick to Make

This is something you can whip up in 10 minutes.

Hence the reason why I love making it.

In this case, I used leftover hard boiled Easter eggs.

However, anytime of year, it’s good to have a few hard boiled eggs on hand in the refrigerator to quickly grab and eat.

My dog Sarge was intently watching me as I prepared my tuna egg salad.

I think he thought he was going to get a bite.

As mentioned above, I would have added more ingredients, such as cucumbers, celery, and spring onions if I had them.

That’s what’s great about this recipe is that you can switch it up so many different ways.

Because I’m eating low carb and high protein (Keto), I added a side of parmesan crisps.
