Veggie Tuna Salad
Veggie Tuna Salad is a classic New York deli and bagel store classic. The creamy salad is loaded with crispy chopped vegetables. Enjoy veggie tuna on a bagel, in a wrap, or over a bed of greens. Canned tuna with veggies and mayo has tons of flavor, and it's so easy to pull together! This recipe is low-carb.
Ingredients
- 2 (5 oz.) cans white albacore tuna packed in water (or one double can)
- ¼ cup mayonnaise, or more to taste
- 2 tablespoons diced red bell pepper, ½ pepper
- 3 tablespoons diced celery, 1 stalk
- 3 tablespoons red onion or scallions, ½ small onion or 2 scallions
- 2-3 tablespoons shredded carrots, 1 carrot (shredded on a box grater)
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped dill
- sea salt to taste (if needed)
Instructions
- Open the cans of tuna and drain them into a colander, pushing out all the water.
- Chop all of the veggies into small pieces.
- Mix the veggies and the tuna. Add enough mayonnaise so the tuna salad sticks together, but not too much so it tastes like a bowl of mayo.
- Serve on a bed of lettuce with tomatoes, onions, and cucumbers. Or, pile on a warm bagel or toasted bialy.
Notes
Storage: Store the tuna in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
