foodiefromvt Dill Pickle Tuna Salad For a super

easy and delicious high protein lunch idea, this dill pickle tuna salad is filling and crave worthy! I love the flavor combo with the tuna with the pickles. Toss in a pita, wrap or have on a salad for an easy lunch this week!

Here’s what you need:

7 oz can tuna, drained

2 tbsp cottage cheese

1 tbsp avocado oil mayo

2 tsp Dijon mustard

1 tsp lemon juice

1/4 cup dill pickles, finely chopped

1 tbsp dill, chopped

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp fresh black pepper

For serving

Pita

Cucumbers, sliced

Romaine or iceberg lettuce

Transfer the tuna, mayo, Dijon, lemon juice, salt and pepper into a food processor and pulse until combined and almost smooth.

Transfer to a bowl and fold in the pickles, dill and onion.
Scoop into toasted pita with thinly sliced cucumber and lettuce. Top with additional dill pickles and fresh black pepper.

*makes 1 serving or 2 small servings; the tuna salad (without pita etc) comes in at around 300 calories and 46g of protein
