Cooking Instructions

  1. Rinse and drain the tuna and dill relish in a colander then dump into mixing bowl.
  2. Add mayo, black pepper, salt, and optionally, the mustard and onion flakes.
  3. Stir the ingredients together with a fork.
  4. Taste the tuna salad then add more mayo, pepper, etc as needed.
  5. Eat and enjoy! 🙂

This Keto Tuna salad recipe tastes better when you wring as much water as possible from the tuna and dill relish (steps 1 & 2).

Shopping Notes

  1. Any brand of canned tuna in water is fine. I used store brand for this recipe.
  2. This recipe tastes better with regular mayo (any brand), but I used avocado oil mayo in this instance.
  3. Any brand of relish works as long as it’s dill relish and not sweet relish.
  4. Any salt, mustard, and black pepper are fine.
  5. Onion flakes can be hard to spot in the store. They are in the spice section and labeled “Minced Onions” or “Chopped Onions” or “Onion Flakes.”

Keto Tuna Salad Plated

Special thanks to Melissa from I Breathe I’m Hungry for her Easy Keto Tuna Salad recipe which gave me the idea to include onion flakes for added flavor and texture.

If you’d like something more indulgent, consider this Tuna Salad recipe from Keto Size Me which adds sour cream, bacon, and hard boiled eggs to the mix.

I created this Keto tuna salad recipe by comparing my usual recipe to the most popular Keto tuna salad recipes online. I then refined it to reduce the number of ingredients, prep time, and complexity. Quick & easy!

Hope you enjoy it!
