Meal Prep Made Easy

Do you meal prep? My husband recently started eating more ketogenic so I have found that meal prep is a must to having things available for him to eat, especially lunches he can bring to work.

This tuna salad and chicken salad are super easy meals to make and have enough for a few days. Add a few extras in the container like veggies, fruit or a hard boiled egg for a complete meal.

How to make Tuna Salad Meal Prep

Dice up celery into small pieces and combine with tuna, onion flakes, mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Stir until well combined.
If you are using the tuna salad for meal prep, add lettuce leaves to a meal prep container. Add about about a cup of tuna salad and then any additional items like celery, almonds and cheese.

FAQ’s

What goes well with Tuna Salad?

I like pairing this salad with veggies like celery, cucumbers or bell peppers. You could also pair it with fruit like grapes, apples or melon.

Is tuna and mayonnaise healthy?

Tuna is a great source of omega-3 fatty acids and protein. If you are on a ketogenic diet then mayonnaise works well since it is high in fat. You could also add avocado to your tuna salad for extra healthy fat.

How many days does it last in the refrigerator?

I would say about three days in the refrigerator. This recipe is enough for 2 lunches. You could double the recipe and store in the refrigerator.
