Delicious ways to serve Tuna Salad
Classic sandwich – can’t ever go wrong with traditional! Use sandwich bread, rolls, or a croissant.
On top of lettuce – ditch the bread and make it low carb by placing tomato slices on a sturdy lettuce leaf, topped with a scoop of the salad. So pretty!
Stuffed tomatoes – hollow out large tomatoes and stuff with the tuna salad. Perfect for a brunch.
Tuna Stuffed Avocado – remove the pit from a ripe avocado and replace it with the tuna salad. I LOVE this Tuna Stuffed Avocado recipe.
Make tuna melts! – place some tuna salad on toasted bread with a slice of provolone cheese on top, and broil for 1 minute.
How long does tuna salad last?
This Tuna Salad recipe will last in the refrigerator, in a tightly sealed container, up to 2 days. If you’re not going to eat it immediately after making, I recommend folding in the chips right before serving, otherwise they get soggy. You want the crunch!
Other classic salad recipes we can’t live without are traditional Egg Salad and Ham salad – I make both of those constantly!

Just made and had this for lunch. It had the perfect amount of mayo mixture, and the crushed potato chips in the sandwich was great!
Another winner.
