Easy Swaps for Tuna Salad
There are a few easy swaps we’re making in this healthy tuna salad that mean BIG things for flavor. Here’s what we did:
Mayo –> Greek yogurt + mayo: Many tuna salad recipes call for mayo, but ours features 1/3 cup of Greek yogurt and just 2 tablespoons of mayo. You’ll love the creaminess!
Dried dill –> fresh dill: we love love love the flavor of fresh herbs and don’t recommend subbing fresh dill for dried dill.
A little crunch: We love having a little crunch in our tuna salad, which is why you’ll be chopping up red onion and celery. So this is more an addition to many tuna salad recipes, than a substitution. Don’t skip the onion and celery!
