Calories in Tuna Salad
It depends if you will eat only the tuna salad, add it to your sandwich, or use it as a mini appetizer.
I have split this recipe into two portions to give you a quick ball view.
One portion, perfect for at least two sandwiches or about ten mini bites, has got a perfect 69 grams of calories.
This is excellent news for us following a low-carb or keto lifestyle. Our Healthy Tuna Salad has a perfect 1 gram of carbohydrates per portion.
With its 9 grams of Protein to add to this, we are on the right way for an enjoyable breakfast time.
To make a salad with Tuna, it is best and easiest to use canned tuna. I usually buy either tuna in olive oil or water.
Tuna is naturally low carb and high in Protein, the best fit for the keto lifestyle. As long as you are buying pure tuna in a can, without any additional ingredients except water or oil, it is perfect to use.
What is Keto Tuna Salad?
Keto Tuna Salad is a perfect mixture of ingredients allowed in the keto lifestyle.
Adding each into the mixture is excellent to get the best of all the nutritions.
Tuna on its own is a perfect source of Protein.
To add to it, we need some fat, cheese in our case, vegetables – cucumber and onion. Caviar with lemon gives us that VIP effect.
Variations of Tuna Salad
Few tips on addition into this Tuna Salad to give it a different variation:
- Fresh Vegetables of your choice
- Cooked eggs cut into small pieces works great
- Mayonnaise or Sour Cream could be an excellent choice when you want to keep your low-carb plan if you are on vacation
- Keto Pasta for a complete meal
- Guacamole mixed in for a perfect dip
- A few spoons of Basil pesto works great as well

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
How do you store Tuna Salad?
Simply place it into the mason jar or any glass container with the lid. It will stay in your refrigerator for 3-4 days.
Can you freeze Tuna Salad?
You can undoubtedly freeze Tuna Salad, although I would not suggest it as it does change the structure after defrosting.
It is still ok, but freshly made tuna salad tastes much better. Make only the amount you know you will consume within 2-3 days.
Having a fresh tuna and want to try something special? Tuna steak with lemon dijon sauce is worth looking at.

OOh, this is different! I have never tried caviar but some mix-ins that I like with tuna are egg noodles and veggie all. My mom would make it for us all the time.
Dear Taylor,
You should try it once, You have no idea what you are missing. At least we do love caviar.

I make my tuna with mayonnaise, lots of onion, and a bit of sweet relish. Yummy! I’ve never tried caviar. I’m pulling a lot of your bread recipes! I must try them! Thanks for your efforts!
Great ideas as well. All of the bread recipes are super good. You will love them all.
Oh what an interesting way to mix tuna! As funny as it may sound, I didn’t realize caviar was an ingredient! I thought it was like “Cowboy Caviar!”
