Keto Tuna Salad

Our keto tuna salad is the same recipe my mom made when I was a kid! These days we serve it in lettuce wraps or stuffed into mini sweet peppers instead of white bread. It's one of our favorite lunches and is easy to make ahead.

Notes

You may use more or less mayo depending on how creamy you like your tuna salad.
Greek yogurt can be substituted for the mayonnaise for those that don't like mayo or just want extra protein.
Serve in a lettuce wrap, stuffed in mini sweet peppers, on a chaffle, or with our keto hamburger buns.
