Time 20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 large eggs
4 strips bacon
1/3 cup olive or avocado oil mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sour cream
1/4 teaspoon lemon zest plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 stalk celery, thinly sliced
Two 5-ounce cans tuna packed in olive oil, 2 tablespoons of the oil reserved and the rest drained
2 scallions, sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 medium tomato, halved and cut into 8 slices
16 leaves Bibb lettuce

Steps:

  • Cover the eggs with about an inch of water in a medium pot. Bring to a boil, remove from the heat, cover and let stand for 8 minutes. Drain and submerge in ice water. When cool enough to handle, peel the eggs and chop.

Add the tuna and three-quarters of the bacon and egg and gently fold together (do not overmix). Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.

2 (6 ounce) cans olive oil-packed tuna, drained
¾ cup reduced-fat olive oil mayonnaise
2 stalks celery, chopped
½ lime, juiced

Tips:

  • Choose the right tuna: For the best results, use high-quality tuna packed in olive oil or water. Avoid tuna packed in vegetable oil, as this will add unnecessary fat and calories to your salad.
  • Use fresh, crunchy vegetables: Celery, red onion, and cucumber are all great choices for adding texture and flavor to your tuna salad. Be sure to wash and chop them finely before adding them to the salad.
  • Add some herbs and spices: A little bit of dill, parsley, or chives can really brighten up the flavor of your tuna salad. You can also add some salt and pepper to taste.
  • Don't overmix the salad: Once you've added all of the ingredients, mix the salad gently until everything is combined. Overmixing will make the salad mushy.
  • Serve immediately or chill: Tuna salad is best served immediately, but it can also be chilled for later. If you're chilling the salad, be sure to bring it to room temperature before serving.

Conclusion:

Keto tuna salad is a delicious and easy-to-make lunch or dinner option. It's packed with protein and healthy fats, and it's low in carbs. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect keto tuna salad every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and healthy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
