This Homemade Chopped Tuna Salad is one of my go-to meals when I want something clean, filling, and ready in 10 minutes flat.

It’s crisp, creamy, and full of satisfying textures — with crunchy veggies, flaky tuna, and a tangy Greek yogurt dressing that ties it all together. No cooking, no fuss, just chop, mix, and eat.

I love making a big batch on Sunday and keeping it in the fridge for easy lunches throughout the week. It’s the kind of meal that helps you feel energized, not weighed down.

Ingredients (serves 2–3):

For the Salad:

• 2 cans tuna (in water or oil), drained

• 1 cup cucumber, finely chopped

• 1/2 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped

• 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

• 1/4 cup celery, chopped

• 2 tbsp chopped parsley or dill

• Optional: 1/2 avocado, diced; 1 hard-boiled egg, chopped

For the Creamy Dressing:

• 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt

• 1 tbsp mayo (for richness)

• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

• 1 tbsp lemon juice

• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prep the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayo, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

2. Mix the salad: In a large bowl, combine tuna, chopped veggies, herbs, and any extras you like (avocado, egg, etc.).

3. Toss & serve: Pour the dressing over the salad and mix until well coated. Serve chilled in a bowl, in lettuce wraps, or stuffed in a pita.

Sarah’s Tips & Swaps:

• Make it dairy-free: Use a dairy-free yogurt or mashed avocado in place of Greek yogurt.

• Add crunch: Top with sunflower seeds or crushed almonds for a little texture.

• Low carb tip: Serve in lettuce cups or halved bell peppers instead of bread.

• Meal prep tip: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days — it holds up really well!

Flavorful Conclusion:

This chopped tuna salad is simple, fresh, and full of flavor. It’s the kind of lunch that makes you feel good—energized, nourished, and ready to tackle your day. And best of all? It takes no time at all.
