Canned tuna has such a great nutritional profile – high in protein and low in fat. Even if it is not the most delicious on its own, it is worth the effort to make it so. In this pineapple tuna salad, we are using pineapple for some sweetness and moisture, and then opting for Greek yogurt instead of mayo to keep it a true gym food lunch. This is a healthy, quick, and easy lunch option to meet your protein goals.
Ingredients
1 170g can of tuna, drained
¼ cup Greek yogurt
Zest of one small lemon
½ red pepper, diced
¼ cup diced pineapple
1 green onion, thinly sliced
1-2 tablespoons mix of either cilantro, parsley, or mint, roughly chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Cheddar cheese, thinly sliced
4 slices of bread, toasted (or 2 for a super stuffed sandwich)
Directions
In a bowl combine the tuna, Greek yogurt, lemon zest, red pepper, pineapple, green onion, herbs, salt, and pepper.
The mixture should make two sandwiches (or one, if you prefer to eat more protein and less carbs). Slather the tuna salad on a piece of bread, top with cheese slices, and close the sandwich.
