recipe: simple tuna salad
Some days are BUSY. We forget to meal prep or plan, there aren't any leftovers ready, or the day just gets away from us. This super simple recipe for tuna salad has been coming in handy for me lately. Whether you incorporate this recipe into your meal plan or just keep these ingredients stocked as staples in case you need a meal in a pinch, it's always a win and really gives you a boost toward hitting your daily protein goals.
Ingredients
- 1 - 5 ounce can of tuna in water
- 2 hard boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
- 1 TBSP of mayonnaise (big fan of the Primal Kitchen brand avocado oil mayo because of the high quality ingredients)
- 1 tsp of stone ground mustard (regular yellow mustard works here too!)
- sea salt & black pepper to taste
Directions
- Combine all ingredients well in a medium bowl.
- Enjoy immediately or store in the fridge in an airtight container for later. I love to pair my tuna salad with sliced cucumber and tomatoes for an easy high protein, low carb lunch.

Meet John Pretti. Born in 1964 and raised in Germany by a German mother and American father, who was a military officer in the U.S. Army. He grew up as an athlete, playing and competing in soccer, football, basketball, and wrestling. In 1988, he moved to the United States and became a police officer at the age of 24 and later joined the Pennsylvania and Florida National Guard. John got by with limited physical training as he simply wasn’t interested and lacked discipline. Fast forward to 2010, after working 22 years as a law enforcement officer, the job began to take its toll in the form of PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). Deep in his battle with depression, John turned to alcohol for comfort for nearly two years - almost losing his family along with everything else. He knew he had to get help. In 2012, he joined CrossFit Black Box in Tallahassee and there he discovered a place to channel his emotions and stress. He found relief.
