Healthy Never-Fail Tuna/Chicken Salad


When I was younger, I despised any form of chicken or tuna salad. I didn’t like tuna, for one, but mayonnaise disgusted me. That part hasn’t changed (sorry mayo), but let me tell you what has…


I now eat tuna and/or chicken salad at least once a week. I have been for a couple years, and I’ve been using the same recipe since way early on. It’s simple, quick, healthy, and DANG good.

It’s also versatile, because I use this recipe with both canned tuna and chicken, as well as canned salmon! I love eating it with crackers, on a sandwich, or building a fancy bowl or salad around it.


If you are a mayo fan, have at it! Feel free to use mayonnaise or a vegan alternative in place of the yogurt. It’s just not my thing 😝

what you’ll need:

  • 1 can of chicken, tuna, or salmon (I ALWAYS use Wild Planet Foods)

    • If using a “no salt added” variety, you may need to add salt to taste

  • 2-3 TB plain Greek yogurt

  • 1/2-1 TB mustard (yellow, honey, spicy, dijon, etc.)

  • garlic powder

  • zesty lemon pepper seasoning

Mix everything together and you’re done! If not eating right away, store in an airtight container in the fridge.
