This recipe is perfect for on the go or if you need a quick and easy meal idea. It just takes 5-10 minutes to prepare. This meal is very high in protein and healthy fats which will help keep you full for a long time.

I also explain how I make this salad into a tuna melt below the tuna salad recipe. It is so good!

A couple things I like about tuna is that it is so versatile in what you can make with it, it also has so many health benefits from it. Tuna is very high in omega-3 fatty acids which has been shown to help decrease cardiovascular disease and heart attacks.

Ingredients:

1 can or packet of tuna

1/4 avocado

1/2 Tbsp Mayo

1 celery stick diced

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp onion powder

1/4 tsp parsley

1/8 tsp or pinch of salt

Ingredients for Tuna Melt:

1. Oil a frying pan with olive oil, avocado oil, or butter and heat over medium-low heat.
