Notes about recipe:

  • Ways to increase calories: sub out greek yogurt for more mayonnaise, use regular mayonnaise and cheddar cheese – and add more of both mayonnaise or cheese to suit your caloric needs
  • You can also make this on an English muffin, which can increase the protein content
  • Make sure to toast the bread before adding the tuna since it will get soggy quickly if not.
  • Optional add-ins to tuna salad mix for different flavoring: jalapenos for spice, pickles for sour, carrots or grapes for sweetness, or herbs like chives or dill.
