5 from 1 vote

My love for tuna runs deep (it was my go-to childhood lunch), and this high-protein tuna salad is everything and more. Packed with protein, fiber, and summer flavors, it's the ideal lunch for a day at the beach or an afternoon on the patio. It's ready in 10 minutes, super versatile, and made with simple ingredients like petite peas, snap peas, Greek yogurt, and fresh lemon zest.

Notes

Storage: Keep this salad in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Enjoy cold with crackers, in a lettuce wrap, or on a sandwich.

Can I use canned peas? No and no. They must be frozen petite peas - end of story. Sorry, not sorry.

Can I leave out the mayo? Sure! Just use all Greek yogurt!
