THE BEST KETO TUNA SALAD WITH PASTA

If you've been looking for quick keto lunch ideas, look no further! This keto tuna salad with pasta is just what you need. 

It's light, refreshing, packed with flavor, and comes together in a few minutes with simple ingredients. 

But, what I think takes this keto tuna salad to another level is adding in some low carb pasta. And even with the addition of pasta to the other ingredients, this recipe only has 3 NET CARBS per serving!

Oh, and speaking of pasta, if you haven't tried my keto pasta recipe yet, give that a shot next. 

INGREDIENTS

Alright, so you'll need just a few ingredients to bring this keto macaroni salad together.

Check out everything you'll need:

• 1 Packet Bold Jalapeño Tuna
• 1 ½-2 Cups Low carb pasta of choice 
• ⅛ Medium red onion, diced
• 1 Celery rib cut into U-shaped pieces
• ½ Cup Mayo
• Juice from ¼ of a lemon
• Pinch of salt, pepper, paprika, and fresh dill

So, the ingredients that make this recipe indistinguishable from a regular tuna salad are the jalapeño tuna pack and the low carb pasta. My go-to tuna packets are the ones from Starkist. Not only are they insanely tasty, but they're super low carb and high in protein.

As for the pasta, I used Kaizen low carb pasta, but you can use anything you want. Just make sure that it's low in net carbs to keep this recipe keto friendly.

Oh, and this tastes even better with my keto crackers, so you might want to make them to go with this recipe!

HOW TO MAKE KETO TUNA SALAD WITH PASTA

The process of making this recipe is as straightforward as it gets. 

And since it's so quick and easy, it really makes for an ideal dinner if you're short on time, or need a grab and go lunch.

Now get out the ingredients, and let's make some pasta tuna salad keto friendly!

STEP 1: PREP

First, cook the low carb pasta according to the directions on the package.

And while that's cooking, dice the red onion and cut the celery rib into U-shaped pieces, so everything mixes well. These are the only vegetables I like to add for a classic experience, but if you'd like to add more veggies feel free.

STEP 2: MAKING THE TUNA SALAD

Once the pasta is cooked, add it to a large bowl along with the tuna packet, diced onion, cut celery, and mayo.

Then add in a pinch of salt, pepper, and paprika, and squeeze in some lemon juice and add fresh dill to brighten up all of the flavors.

Now mix everything in the bowl together until all of the ingredients are well-combined. Then scoop some of it into a serving bowl and enjoy!

HOW TO STORE KETO TUNA SALAD

The best part about this recipe is how delicious it tastes leftover. I seriously think it tastes even better days after making it since all the flavors have time to develop. 

And this keto pasta tuna salad recipe will make about 4 servings, so you might have some leftovers to enjoy the next few days.

If you do, transfer the leftovers from the bowl to an airtight container, and you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Then, whenever you want to eat it, just take it out of the fridge, and enjoy!

WRAPPING IT ALL UP 

Well, that is how to make tuna salad keto friendly!

It's so light, fresh, packed with protein, and has only 3 NET CARBS per serving. And if you want to change it up and make a tuna salad sandwich, give this 2 minute keto bread a try - or put it on one of these storebought keto breads.
