✅ Why It’s Great for Blood Sugar

  • Tuna provides lean protein to help control blood sugar
  • Eggs are rich in protein and healthy fats, keeping you full longer
  • No added sugars or processed carbs
  • High in fiber and healthy fats to balance glucose levels

📝 Ingredients (Serves 2–3)

  • 2 cans (5 oz each) tuna in water, drained
  • 2 large eggs, hard-boiled and chopped
  • 1/4 cup celery, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado mayo (or regular mayo, if preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for extra brightness)
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill (or fresh, if you have it)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1/2 avocado, diced, for extra healthy fats
  • Optional: Fresh parsley, for garnish

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Prep the eggs: Place eggs in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain and cool, then peel and chop.
  2. Mix the salad: In a large bowl, combine tuna, chopped eggs, celery, and red onion.
  3. Add the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil (or mayo), Dijon mustard, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper.
  4. Combine: Pour the dressing over the tuna and egg mixture and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
  5. Optional toppings: Add diced avocado for extra creaminess and healthy fats. Garnish with parsley if desired.
  6. Serve: Enjoy it on its own, over a bed of greens, in lettuce wraps, or with a side of veggies.
