What is the best type of canned tuna to use?

We prefer to use wild-caught canned tuna. If that is not available, then feel free to substitute it with conventional canned tuna. However, wild-caught tuna tends to have more flavor and fewer contaminants. Tuna fish itself has a whole host of vitamins and minerals like iron, magnesium, potassium, selenium, phosphorus, vitamin B12, B6, and riboflavin.

What is the best mayo to use?

The best mayo to use is avocado oil-based mayo. We recommend steering clear from vegetable-based oils like soybean and canola oil which is the primary ingredient in most store-bought mayonnaise. However, you can find mayos that solely use avocado oil. If that is not available, you can make your own mayo. You can find a few mayo recipes on Carb Manager.

What is the best way to store finished tuna salad?

Tuna salad can be stored in the fridge for up to three days and used for sandwiches or salads.

To make the ultimate pairing, serve this Keto Tuna Salad with our Keto Avocado Cucumber Salad!
