Quick Tuna Salad

What’s for lunch? You might be tackling lunchtime challenges in the workplace or trying to pack a school lunch your picky eater will love; either way, having a go-to option (like this Quick Tuna Salad) will certainly save you time debating what to make. Tuna salad is a quick option (especially if you follow my meal prep tips) and you can serve it on a whole-grain tortilla, on top of whole-grain crackers, an English muffin, or on top of a bed of salad greens with red grapes.

Canned tuna is a great source of protein and is also very cost-effective. Look for cans that are packed in water, as opposed to oil, and that are low-sodium. Additionally, opt for larger containers of plain tuna over smaller containers of the flavoured kind. It will save you a bit of extra change and added sodium.
