My mom and mine's tuna salad. This is my mom's simple and delicious tuna egg salad recipe! This Tuna Salad is healthy and makes an excellent sandwich filling for a comforting meal or a protein-packed topping on mixed greens or lettuce leaves for a light lunch. It packs up great for school and road trip lunches.

Sometimes, I give it a hit of my good finishing olive oil, or add a handful of microgreens. I make a pretty basic tuna salad the same way my mom and grandma have always made it (and I think it's the best) - just finely diced onions, celery, and mayo with salt and pepper… but the ingredient that "makes it" is a adding a tiny bit of celery salt. Every family has their "go-to" way of making this cold pasta salad and, like many others, I'm biased toward mine. You can cook My mom and mine's tuna salad using 9 ingredients and 9 steps.

Canned tuna will forever be one of those things I just truly appreciate. It's easy to store, it's inexpensive and it always perfect for quick recipes. As a kid, this recipe was often packed by my mom for school lunches. And as an adult, I often eat it wrapped in lettuce, sandwiched between gluten-free bread or served alongside my flaxseed crackers. I also love tuna stuffed avocados for a tasty, low carb lunch - it's the best.
