Ways to Enjoy Tuna Salad

Tuna salad can be enjoyed on its own, as a sandwich with bread, or in lettuce cups as a low carb option. We also love tuna melts and a tuna stuffed avocado!

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!

    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.
