If you’re into tuna salad, this one’s for you! My version is full of chunky vegetables, chickpeas, greek yogurt, a little dijon, and obviously, solid white albacore tuna. Basically all the things you need to slather on a tortilla, sandwich thin, or lettuce wrap. It’s the new Veggie-Packed Greek Yogurt Tuna Salad (No-Mayo!).

Quick update on the pantry challenge: I spent another $16 on produce and milk at the store yesterday, which brings my April grocery tab to about $36. However, we’ve been eating eggs like crazy and I’ll have to make a trip to Costco for more (and some non-food related items of course). I don’t know how anyone can afford eggs from anywhere else.
Our mini-vacation trip was awesome and full of mouth-watering food (breakfast buffet with sushi!?), but I was excited to get home and flex my recipe-creating brain. I’d previously tested out this tuna salad with success, so I decided to go for it. Our pantry had the necessary chickpeas, tuna, and almonds plus all the condiments and spices. Next week might be a bit more of a challenge to find a share-worthy recipe from only what we have… but I can do it!
For this recipe, I like to use two whole cans of wild line-caught Solid White Albacore Tuna from Costco. These cans are 7 ounces each, so perhaps three of the smaller cans would be necessary. I also can’t not use these Blue Diamond Smokehouse Almonds – THE BEST flavor of almonds in existence. They’re perfect for snacking plain, but I also love them in this tuna salad recipe and other chicken salads. Plus, red grapes give a little sweetness to balance out the smokey flavor from the almonds.
Lucky for you, I made a video for this recipe! Check it out below and see how quickly the Veggie-Packed Greek Yogurt Tuna Salad comes together for a lunch, dinner, or snack anytime.

Hey, I'm Danielle. I made Project Meal Plan because being prepared and saving time are my favorite things. It doesn't hurt that I LOVE cooking and photography too. 
Lovely recipe if it weren’t for the 2 TABLEspoons of mustard. I did think that would be too much so I put a lot less in it (about 1 tablespoon, so about half) and it was still way too mustardy and had to put quite a bit of mayo in it to counterbalance the mustard. I will try this recipe again with no mustard because i think it will be much nicer.
AMAZING. I love the greek yoghurt in there. I made a bunch for my lunch this week 🙂
Thank you Stella!! So glad you loved this! Haven’t made it in forever and you reminded me I need to make some soon. Thank you so much for your review and rating! -Danielle
